Class on the 20th

     Time went by fairly quickly at class Thursday night, we started by looking at words and phrases. After failing to figure out what most of them were professor Moses, explained she took them from movie and books. As a class everyone had to come up with three of their own words and phrases and write them on the white board in front of class.

     After the phrases exercise, the class was split into small groups of three or four. Each of the small groups was assigned a section from a reading that was assigned prior to class. As a group we had to answer a set of questions that went along with our corresponding section. And present the questions and answers to the class. Some of the sections were a lot deeper than others, the section I had to go over was about Romelda a young African American girl who is going through puberty and starts realizing that her body is changing and guys start looking at her in a different way. She learns how to deal with the hooting and hollering and talks back to the guys who hit on her.  

     After the reading exercise, there was a in class writing assignment that consisted of a short story. Briefly explaining a situation where someone misunderstood you or you misunderstood them.
