1. Think of questions you would like to ask Ahmad Almallah (they can be questions about his situation as Palestinian-American, about the endurance of genocide, about his poetry, about being a poet...)
2. Create your own "fuck you" poem of 14 lines relating what you have learnt and read so far to the contents of this class (if you prefer, you can put the poem in one of the characters' voice, e. g. "the son" in Symbols and signs). Some exampes of possible first lines
Fuck you to "welcome" and to coming back
Fuck you Acme Beer. We will never reach the hill.
Fuck you golden door. My people came to sweep the floor.
Fuck you Riviera. Jesus this is Gaza.
Fuck you to the line break. We don't get breaks between classes
etc.
