Khaleefa's Aamazing Presentation reflection.

I am replying to Ms. Pollock about Khaleefa's amazing presentation.


4.
* He treats us as if we are his younger siblings. He sits between us and makes us feel like he is part of our class.
* The rap he did at the beginning of the class. It was entertaining and a great way of getting every one's attention.
* The way his words flew, and they way he finds those combination of meaningful words and links them together.
* The phrase in his poem "Don't look".
 "He'd write till his wrists hurts, looking at his insert, it became sweet like a des-ert"


3.
* When he told us about his poem that's called " it's not a poem". I have read it and like he said, it not just words on paper, it's LIFE on paper.
* He encouraged everyone to write and NOT be ashamed of what they write. Everyone should respect the capability of people.
* The tip he gave us about the more you write the better you get.
It's true. The other day I looked back to the first poem I wrote last year and compared it to the one i just finished last week. There's a major difference!


2.
* Why is it that you prefer writing all night? Is it just the moment where the thoughts come?
* Have you ever used any resource to find words that rhyme if you're stuck? And how long does it last if you're brain is blocked and you can't write?


1.
* He's a great role model because he encourages us to be proud of ourselves no matter how bad others think we are. He's also a great role model for those who are shy to preform in front of people.  It's a wonderful influence to show those folks that it doesn't take much to have the guts to preform in front of people as long as you're proud of your work.

  1. GREAT job Haneen. I'm glad you were so moved by Khaleefa's presentation and I look forward to seeing your poetry skills improve as we do more and more of it in class.
