I really enjoyed working with Jadeen this semester. Seeing Jadeen express interest and motivation through the numerous projects that we have completed has been such a pleasure. Jadeen is always willing to jump right in with wonderful ideas and writing. My favorite of his projects this semester was his Family poem. At first he may not have thought poetry was all that exciting but I could tell as we went along that it was not just me who was enjoying his writing. Jadeen had many great visions for projects this semester and I am so glad that I got the chance to see them through. I appreciated being part of the process along with him, facilitating and helping when necessary, but what I liked the most was seeing Jadeen in action.
I hope that Jadeen will continue to talk, write, and explore literacy through technology!

Family Poem:
Family
Family is love
It feels warm and comfortable
My siblings and my room is above
The kitchen, living room, and my parents’ room
Family is a battle
My mom is always telling me to sweep with the blue broom
I say “WHY ME THERES OTHER PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE!”
My step dad is always complaining
I wish he would be as silent as a mouse
Family is fun
It sounds like laughter, music, and singing
The house is always energetic with my sister dancing
The phone is almost always ringing
Family is noisy
My 10-year-old sister can sing like an angel
My step dad is always preaching about the Bible
Music is always playing the house is not quiet nor stable
Family is Courage
My family has my back
There’s always a helping hand to give
They give support to keep me on track!
PSA Podcast:
Smoking weed is bad for you. Just because you see other people doing it doesn’t mean you have to. Weed can make it difficult for you to solve problems. Smoking is NOT a good thing.
Think about your schoolwork.
Think about your younger siblings.
Think about your self.
Think about your health.
Marijuana can affect the areas in your brain that plays a part in response to stress, motivation, and reward. Weed can mess up your lungs, too. For example it can make it hard for you to breathe. Weed is not legal at ALL. Never do it even if you’re asked to by a “friend”. BE YOURSELF WEED CAN AFFECT YOUR HEALTH!!!!!!!
