Claudia Morales and Marisela Padilla read examples of student poems inspired by Jean-François Millet’s “Man with a Hoe.” Here’s an example written by one of Claudia Morales’s students:
I am a hardworking farmer.
I am not delighted by the harsh rays of the sun.
I am tan
Like the soil
I am harvesting.
But I’m not rewarded by my work.
I am sweating
But I’m not giving up.
