Today in class I learned how to read poetry and annotate. For example, to read poetry, first analyze the title, read it to get a feel of it, to determine meaning, and to make a connection. Annotating consist of as circling unfamiliar words, underline important part, ask questions, and making notes. We also went over this poem “The Negro Speaks Of River” and it talked about how black people was the original creators and built the pyramids. It was very educational for vocal people so they know their worth and where they come from m. It can stop a lot of black peoples from thinking bad about themselves and thinking that they done come from nothing. When in reality it’s the exact opposite, they made us believe all these lies. Today was a good lesson and well needed.
