| The "I Am" Poem was introduced to me by my ninth grade English teacher, Mrs. Nagolski. I love this thing! The idea is to use the beginning phrases below to complete thoughts, usually one sentence per phrase ~ but it's poetry, so it's obviously open to interpretation. Don't worry if you're not a poetic person. All you have to do is finish the sentences (keepinig the "I am" line the same each time). You don't even have to think about whether they "go" together or (PLEASE) don't feel you have to make them rhyme! Just try it. You may click on the baby-face link directly below this paragraph to see samples of other "I Am" poems, if you want inspiration... or just copy and paste the white box below onto a Word document and go for it. If you want to share the results with me, please feel free ~ and let me know if I can post it here! Good luck, and have fun! |
