"I am From..."

As a different way for me to get to know you, I would like for you to create an "I am from" poem.

Okay, settle down. This is not as bad as it sounds. :) I did this recently and found it to be a fun experience remembering my past and thinking about what made me who I am today.

Also I am not going to force you to read or share your poem with the class. You can if you would like to though! You will turn this in to me via the Teams assignment. If you want, I will be the only one who reads your poem. :)

All you have to do is respond to some easy prompts and fill out a form. A few examples are:

  • I am from _____ (fill in a specific item from your childhood home)
  • I am from _____ (an ancestor) and ______ (another ancestor)
  • I am from _____ (two products or objects from your past)

Here is a link to the form. You can print this out, or just type in your poem to a new word document. If you print it out and do it by hand you will have to scan it in order to turn it in.

As an example, here is my "I am from" poem! I hope you enjoy it and that it gives you a little glimpse into who I am. If you have any questions about me from the poem (or in general), do not hesitate to ask!
