I AM...4
Based on an exercise done as homework by British schoolchildren, this simple idea produced some wonderfully evocative writing from all ages. Here's some more by the little ones...
I am Manuel
I hear the pencil and the teacher and the little children
I see Francisca, In�s, Tiago, my pencil and my cap
I feel my heart
I am Manuel

I pretend to win points
I worry about my family and tests
I want a Porsche
I cry when I smell onion
I am Manuel

I understand the languages of my dog
I hope to win a Porsche
I dream very much
I try to be the best
I am Manuel

(by Manuel, age 11)
I�m Carlota
I hear the people talking, CDs
I see schools, people and the world
I worry about my family
I cry and I�m unhappy
I understand my friends
I dream about the world
I say that I�m a good friend
I feel unhappy
I am Carlota
I pretend to be happy
I want a friend
I am Carlota
I hope I am a good student
I try to be friendly
I am Carlota

(by Carlota, age 10)
