Today's SAT Word: Reconvene (v.): to come back together, to meet up once again.
"It was great to reconvene with our extended family members over the winter break."
Today's Soundtrack: "Runaway" (Radio Edit) by Kanye West
We have chosen this song today because it implores the listener to "run away as fast as you can," which is a theme we encounter in the narrative poems we read in today's class. In the poems we studied in class today, immigrants to the United States attempt to flee an older, oppressive society in hopes of obtaining freedom and a new beginning in the land of promise and opportunity in a different country.
Today's Warm-Up Question: What do you think life is like for immigrants in the United States? What challenges do they face, and why do they stay in this country?
