On my first day of observations at my new school I was able to sit in on an English 10 class where the teacher presented two poems. The students all read and answered questions on the first poem the day before my observation. On the day that I was there the teacher had the students read and analyze the second poem and compare them.

These poems are from the book Native Poetry in Canada: A Contemporary Anthology

These poems spoke to me. I loved seeing the students exposed to indigenous stories in their class. These poems were memorable and beautiful, I am so grateful to my education program for allowing me the chance to observe and learn from impactful educators telling important stories.
