Maya Angelou

The interview of Ms. Maya Angelou was both uplifting and motivating. I became a fan of hers during my senior year of high school, but watching the interview, I've became a bigger fan. I liked how she said that teachers must relate to their students. There is not a way that teachers and students cannot be able to relate. We both have emotions, feelings, and are human beings. I loved how she started to recite some poems. When she is reciting the poems, she really gets into them, and speaks from the heart. All poems should be read like that. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is such an excellent poem. I never thought about looking at this poem from a teacher's point of view. But Ms. Pickett is right, kids want to learn and we should let them learn.
