As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

 The thing I enjoyed most about this class is when we get excused from work. i think the project we just presented 'Our Poem recitation' was the most engaging and fun to do with the posters. My least favorite are the blog post and how repetitive they are. I think I connected the most witht the short stories we read with deeper meaning than the poems personally. For next semester i'm gonna try my best to turn everything in on time especially these blog post \

Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).

 My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas obviously. No matter what me and my family always celebrate christmas and its all ways a fun time to cherish. My favorite part is opening gifts and watching christmas movies. Although Christmas doesn't seem to feel as magical as it used to its still always a exciting time and I look forward to celebrating every year.

How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

 Since Ive been little the Holiday spirit has lifted more more. When you're younger you still believe in fairytales like Santa and have little to no responsibilities so it always felt more magical. As I've gotten older uts not as magical or exciting as it was once upon a time

 Reflection: Everyone presenting this project jncluding myself helped me think about ways to show who i am along with them showing who they are

. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

After watching the short film and also reading the poem they connect by being confident in your identity and who you are. In the short film the people are divided into different groups and stereotypes when they are really all similar deep down. The message of the poem is to not be disunified but be confident in your identity. In Langstons's poem he expresses how he is confident in his identity as an African American. In my mask its to represent thing i like that kinda represent me

Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time.

 Over the break I went to alabama to see family which was a good time eating asee family. i also saw my friends which was nice because it had been awhile since I seen them. Thanksgiving break was fun and will be missed until the next
