Prompt: After watching the short film Identity, write a blog post reflecting on how the masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in and the struggle to discover who you really are. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

 Prompt: The masks in the film the characters try to fit in with certain color masks. The masks try and make each person fit in because they don't fit in with their own personality. It is hard in high to be what your parents want you to be and what your friends want you to be.  The scene I thought was interesting was when Ed finds the image of himself. He realizes his true self. I want my mask in class to show my interests and what I like to do.

Summary: We worked on vocabulary.

Reflection: It is hard to try and be everything that other people want you to be.

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

  Prompt: I had experienced being an outsider when I transferred to a new school mid-year, where people already had their circle and routine. I felt like a stranger and as if I was intruding in a world with no room for me. That sense of isolation made it hard to connect with other individuals and encouraged me to retreat further.

Summary:I was. not present in class this day Reflection:people will exept you if you reach out to them.
