Assimilation
I live in a melting pot
Fondue everyone
Yes sir. As you can tell, I am not exactly a poet however, the past reading in our class has opened my eyes to the ethnocentrism of American education. I think it's great to finally gain a perspective of the progression of "America's education system". As far as the first line, I used assimlitation because of its frequent use in the many documents used in class. The second line represents the "American ideal" of how everything is supposed to be melting together. The third line's main focus is fondue. I use this to portray a mental image. I am trying to paint a picture of when you dip something into cheese, the item is still the same but has a covering of cheese. I am trying to get across that the whole idea of "melting pot" is bogus.

I really enjoyed your haiku. It really hits home with what we were talking about in class. As future teachers, our classrooms will be very diverse and it is important to recognize that everyone has many differences. Your last line, "fondue everyone" demonstrates to me at least, that although everyone is different, we can all come together.
