Write your ancestry story in a poem. Tell of the journeys and experiences of your great grandparents, grandparents, parents and then you (and your generation in your family). What values, beliefs, and experiences are representative of your family and how can you make this come across in your poem? Focus on struggles, accomplishments, and important memories that your family has shared with you. Consider writing one stanza per major event or per generation. Remember poems should not be written in regular prose or paragraphs. Poems are divided into stanzas, have line breaks, use symbolism, imagery, metaphor, and other forms of figurative language. Rhythm (and sometimes rhyme) is also important. (Minimum 400 words) *** **Use the course poems “I am Joaquin” and “La Malinche” as models
