I Am Poems

The "I Am Poem" is a template-based poem that requires students to represent themselves in the form of poetry as well as in visual form. 

Goals:

• To write a poem that represents oneself.
• To symbolize part of a poem using self-identifying visuals.
• To get to know one another through the poem and accompanying visual.

Procedures:

• Provide students with an "I Am" template, either electronically- https://freeology.com/worksheet-creator/poetry/i-am-poem/ or through the template below to write their own poems.

Group Google Presentation

• Once the poems are written, provide participants with a link to a shared Google Doc Presentation, that you established.
• Ask them to use one of the presentation slides to compose their poem and include a photo from their Facebook accounts or one taken with their mobile that symbolizes the essence of their identify. 
• After all participants complete this task, the presentation, one poem at a time, is projected via an interactive board.  Participants, one at a time, read their poems to their classmates.
