Brave New Voices Team Guahan

1. My favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msrbCfE2NQI

     This is my favorite because it relates to our generation. I like what they had to say about relationships because most, if not all, of what they spoke were true. 

2. Local artist(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvjxqy1dHU4

     I figured these two could be considered local artists. I like this poem because they talk about Guam's history. They talked about the some of the history of Guam with the Spanish. They stated how they joined to get their (Guam) message out there so it can be heard.

3. Multiple Voices: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w83oN3pfBv4

     I liked this multiple voices poem because they talked about the military build up. About how Japan has been fighting to get rid of military bases that the United States are going to build on Guam. They also talk about how Uncle Sam contradicts himself and how he plans on putting a shooting range on ancestral land. "How do you expect to preserve beauty with brutality?"

The other night in class, went by quickly. We did a lesson, as usual, and I got four wrong. I guess that's ok, but I need to check. Next, we went over the multiple voices poem, and so the group I'm in chose the Twelve Days of Christmas. We had two stanzas done, I believe. Destiny and Daunelle want to sing to it, but I'm going to sound horrible singing. So, I hope we can read it instead. 

Jingle Bell Rock ;)

Well today was a short day of lessons, poems, & projects. First as always, we are required to do a Lesson Quiz on a daily basis. It went pretty well and had only about two errors out of a total of 20 problems. Next we went over the "Multiple Voice" poem. This was a poem that included 3-4 members in a group to come up with a poem that required all participants to present their poems in a sequential format, I think. Our group decided to do the famous Christmas song, "Jingle Bell Rock" and turn into a Multiple Voice Poem and will be ready to present in a week or two. Finally, Mrs. Q, our wonderful teacher, gave the class a project that required us to go on "YouTube"  and find 3 poems that we have to Blog about. So until Wednesday, I will be talking more about it. Later.

On this day, we went over other types of poems right after finishing our "Daily Lessons". Mrs. Q. went over the instructions briefly and am pretty sure she made it clear about how to do the poems correctly. I did the first two and am working on the rest of them as I speak. The "Found Poem" seems to have captured most of my interests and I find it to be quite simple to do aside from the "ABC Poem" which seems to be the simplest of all the poems. Other than that, I will finish my work and talk more about this on the next blog. Thank you!

The other night went by pretty fast. Mrs. Quichocho didn't waste any time. I was very exhausted that night though, because I was at my grandma's funeral earlier. I didn't do too good though on two lessons. I'm glad Ii'm caught up, but now I'm just doing my poems for the poetry slam. So, until next class, bye!

Last night in Mrs.Quichocho's class we did lesson 14. Then, when we were finished, we graded all lessons from lesson 1-14.But we went through it quickly. We were given poems number 14-15..number 15 was a different kind of poetry that i've never heard about, called multiple voices.We were put into groups of 4.So my group is..Daunelle,Chantal, and Juliana.This should be interesting!
