Description:

I was just looking up some stuff for teachers and found this neat lesson plan about writing a poem about yourself. I thought this would make a great swap.

So here is what you do.... follow the template below to create your own I AM poem- send it to 2 partners along with a picture of yourself.

Newbies welcome- I will be reviewing all participants before I assign and will ban swappers at my descretion.

Most of all- Have fun!

I AM-

FIRST STANZA I am (two special characteristics you have) I wonder (something you are actually curious about) I hear (an imaginary sound) I see (an imaginary sight) I want (an actual desire) I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

SECOND STANZA I pretend (something you actually pretend to do) I feel (a feeling about something imaginary) I touch (an imaginary touch) I worry (something that really bothers you) I cry (something that makes you very sad) I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

THIRD STANZA I understand (something you know is true) I say (something you believe in) I dream (something you actually dream about) I try (something you really make an effort about) I hope (something you actually hope for) I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

Oh crazy! I remember having to do that in, like, 8th or 9th grade! I'd sign up, but as I distinctly recall, my poem was absolutely heinous and I'm 99.9% positive my poetry skills haven't improved much in the years since.

I just did this the year before last (my senior year of HS). hah. I might have to dig it out and think about re-doing it and sending.

Ok dumb question...Where it says I am (the first line of the poem repeated). Are we repeating the 'I Am' statement or the first line of each stanza we create?

Repeat the I am statement No it does not have to rhyme

I will assign partners in a few hours in case anyone still wants to sign up.

It's two days past the end date and neither of my partners ever sent me anything :( Should I wait another week or so before contacting them?

Oh no! I misunderstood and sent mine via email. I will fix this and send out tomorrow via snail mail.
