In class, we did a newsela on the poor disposal aspect of the shoe industry. Shoes seem to be very bad for the environment considering what they are made of and their short use span.
In class, we made a poem in structure of William Carlos Williams. I made my poem branching off of a poem I made this same morning with the day cycle. The perspective is that of a traumatized person. The person went through "the night" and is now feeling the hope of the morning, but is still hesitant to open up to the world and let the light in. Once the afternoon came around, the person finally let go and fully trusted that the sun would stay. However, night came back and the sun abandoned the person's trust and, seeing that the person was already traumatized, it is assumed that the person will never have hope again.
Living off of minimum wage is a grueling and sometimes even impossible task. Today, the assignment was to calculate a realistic budget of someone's living expenses off of minimum wage and 40 hour work weeks. The results showed that there would be no left over money and it all would be necessary to make a living.
