What does Cumba usually have in his pocket? Why do you think he keeps it? Do you have an object that you always or often carry with you? What is its meaning to you?.
Questions for Discussion or Reflective Writing Display their poems in construction paper “pockets” on a bulletin board. Have students write a poem about those objects and why they are important, remind them of home or family, or hold specific meaning for them. Ask them to make a list of objects in their pockets and then choose up to five items. Then have students think about what the things they often carry in their own pockets (or backpacks or purses) reveal about them. Ask students to think about what pockets do-how they hide things we carry and also keep things close to us-and how that relates to Cumba’s experiences and emotional journey. Talk with students about what the title of the book Cuba in My Pocket means.
