I Am Poems

There is a poem template called "I am poems." Its pretty commonly used in schools I think. I did it with 2 of my classes this summer. It went pretty well. I love more creative ways at trying to learn about students and their lives other than just having them write about themselves. Here is the template of the I am poem and below is my I am poem. I was going to post some of my students poems but I think its a little too personal and I did not ask their permission.

Template:

I am (two special characteristics)


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 restated)


I pretend (something you pretend to do)


I feel (a feeling about something imaginary)


I worry (something that really bothers you)


I cry (something that makes you very sad)


I am (the first line of the poem repeated)


I believe (something you believe in)


I dream (something you actually dream about)


I try (something you make an effort to do)


I hope (something you actually hope for)


I am (the first line of the poem repeated)

I am Megan Ibarra

I am weird and artistic

I wonder how sound really comes out of a radio.

I hear the rain patter on my windowsill

I see the faces of my smiling students

I want to get married

I am weird and artistic

I pretend that I am on my grandpop's farm.

I feel excited

I worry about money too much

I cry when I hear about children who are abused

I am weird and artistic

I believe that God is always with me

I dream that my neighborhood would be a safe place for everyone

I try to cook

I hope to see my nephew soon

I am weird and artistic.
