Project Based Homework Due 10.31.11

Hello All,

To continue our exploration of stereotypes you will extend this week's homework by writing a poem about the negative stereotypes associated with your culture.

Your poem only needs to be two stanzas and four or more lines in each stanza. Please keep it somewhat short but it should not be too short.

The first stanza should have a creative way to describe the negative stereotypes said about your culture.

The second stanza should have a creative way to describe how you are above these negative stereotypes, how you or people you know have overcome these stereotypes (i.e. Martin Luther King Jr.), and/or how your life experiences does not fit the negative "label" society has placed on your ethnicity.

Lastly, there should be a "catchy" creative title and it should be written on loose leaf!

An example will be shown in class tomorrow!

Email me before Friday if you need any assistance!

Don't wait until the last minute!!!!!
