After exploring the rich symbolism in the song "Latinoamérica", the Annapolis Middle School students in Ms. Guzmán's SNS class were inspired to create their own original poems, each highlighting symbols from their home countries. The result: twelve poems, each telling a unique story of courage, identity, and pride.  🐲 https://youtube.com/shorts/RQ8gEudebIo?feature=share
