Conclusion:
Reading and writing are the most complex or human function. The goal of having every child able to read and write with competence and confidence has become a national priority. As we travel through this curriculum using poetry of Latin Women, we are able to see its extraordinary power that will induce students into the magic of reading. Reading poetry is a complex understanding that requires a lot from the reader, but, like good art, it demands are more than matched by what it gives in return. It has cascading consequences for the mind. Everyone without serious intellectual impairment can learn a poem. Hopefully this unit may accomplish the ability of learning these poems over the ages, across time and history and culture, helping the spirit to stay alive though the body be imprisoned.
