In Queens people work hard, and they try to improve their life every day. The Hispanic community contributes to develop this country. Most Hispanic family members attend the school and get at least one job at the same time.

My neighborhood has plenty of brave and happy people. In the summer time you find streets busier than usual. A lot of stores and restaurants are crowded all of the time. You can see many people walking and shopping around, beautiful women dressing informal clothing because of tropical weather, and children enjoying a delicious ice cream.

Jackson Heights and whole Queens have as the main form of transportation the 7 train. Thousands of people use this way to get their jobs, school and go back home. I like my neighborhood because I can meet happy people. I can get diversity of Hispanic food, I can find items and products from all foreign and local regions.

Enthusiasm and good attitude are the most important values of Hispanic community where I live. I am bound Latinos is an huge asset to New York and along the united States. The worst could be lack of use of the English language.

My Neighborhood

In my Neighborhood are many Latinos. They come from different countries, and most of them are from Dominican Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia. I don't too much about their custom and traditions, because I come from Paraguay - South America. In my country we have different traditions. Most of the Latinos people are Catholics. In my culture the Holidays are usual catholics holidays.

In the USA the people think that the Latino are all the same, because they speak Spanish. For example in South America, there are 13 countries. Only 9 countries speak Spanish; and the other speak Portuguese, French, and English. It is wrong think that all the people that speak the same language have the same culture and custom. For that reason I can't talk about the culture in my neighborhood, because I don't know too much about that.

my community

Around my neighbor there are a few houses in the block, because i live in a block surrounded by factories.

I like my block because it is quiet and clean, nevertheless it is far from the bus stop, supermarkets and pharmacys.

Most of the people around my block are from Poland.

We are a latin family,we are learning English faster than other families, because my family is trying to practice all the time a new lenguaje.

Most of our neighbor have the same customs as us.

Dear CIET Next Steps Class,

Welcome to our class blog project called, The Marcelo Lucero Project. Many of you have heard of Marcelo Lucero through the Spanish-speaking media. Now, we will revisit and follow the story in the English speaking media, specifically in The New York Times.

It is a tragic story that touches all Americans. Many of us can see ourselves in the shoes of Marcelo Lucero, an immigrant from Ecuador who was killed for no other reason but being Latino and who found himself at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Our Class Blog

In this blog, we will read and write about the history of hate crimes in the U.S. and also in the world. We will read about the Japanese Internment Camps in the U.S. and the Holocaust in Europe during World War II. We will also look at more current Anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe. We will write about our own personal experiences with discrimination. But most of all, we will follow Marcelo Lucero's story as the case goes to court for the trial of the young perpetrators from Patchogue, New York.

Every Tuesday

As a class, we will work on this project every Tuesday of the week. I would like all of you to be prepared to come to class by reading the assigned news article from The New York Times. Make sure to underline words, phrases, and sentences you don't understand. Don't worry! We will read the article together on Tuesdays before we go to the computer room! Also, every week, we will post our personal writings on the blog. Since this is a group blog, everyone will have a chance to read your fellow classmates' works.

Important!

We will begin on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 in the computer room. I would like everyone to have an email address by creating one on http://www.gmail.com/. Please make sure you keep your email addresses and passwords. You will need them to access our class blog. If you have more experience using the Internet, please help your classmates who don't.

First Reading

The first articles we will read are below. Please click, read, and print.
