Today we went straight to reading " Fences". Our plan was to finish the story since we were slightly behind the other classes, but we ran out of time. The story got very riveting when we found out that the Father of the story, Troy, was cheating on his. This wasn't all that surprising from him, but I was really stunned when he revealed that he got the other woman, Alberta pregnant. Then to top it all off, Alberta died giving birth and he asked his wife, Rose, to take care of his baby. All in all, the story was extremely compelling today.

we were on lock-down for most of today. I was stuck in 2nd period. My teacher played the movies " I am Legend" and " The Day After Tomorrow". With the abundance of time had, I was able to finish some work for my other classes and take a nap.

Today we only had about 45 minutes in class due to picture day. We immediately started presenting our 1 -pagers. Since I wasn't at school on Friday, I was one of the people who had to present. I think I did pretty well, since I had a lot of positive feedback. It was also nice to see the thought process of my classmates and their designs of their 1 - pagers.

Today we did a class discussion about Hispanic Heritage. It was nice to get a broader understanding of their culture and debunk the abundance of stereotypes that they go through on a daily basis. We also continued reading Fences. I read the part of Cory, which helped me stay engaged in the story. It was a little challenging at first because I had to find where we left off using the pdf.

What I know about Latino Culture is a little bit about their food. I know they eat churros, tacos, and these sugar cookies that Ms. Granda gave me last year. I also know about the Day of the Dead, which is a celebration for them to honor their past loved ones. I would like to know more about their cultural traditions.
