Work: Where I'm From Poem
Class: Humanities
Teacher: Mrs. Terry
For this project I read “Where I’m From poems” and then created my own poem sharing my story. I addressed Self- Directional skills because I showed that I can understand and monitor my own learning needs and goal set. The thing I'm most proud of for this project is the poem itself because I think it does a good job showing my true self from childhood and the people I grew up around. I improved on my 21st century skills by taking a deeper dive into learning how I can work best by myself and what tools/people I can reach out to for help. The most difficult part of this project was time management because I only had one class period to create this project. I would change the drawings I made. I think my drawing ideas were good because it was the four seasons which connected well with my poem, however I would have liked to have spent more time on my artistic drawings to create a better outcome. One way this project related to what I have learned in the past is through the set up. When I was creating this poem I used my experiences/memories from my past to create a beautiful piece of art that shows how I’ve grown. Working on this project was a lot of fun because I had to look back at childhood memories to create a poem that is unique to me. I would like to apply this concept to future learning by using my past experiences to demonstrate how they have affected my life and then create a project or idea based on those experiences.
I am from
the farm fields of gold
that stretch for miles
with endless play
and restless days
I am from my grandparents house
the clock ticking
fire brewing
and home cooked meals
I am from beautiful greens
rivers flowing
and heights to jump
I am from warm forehead kisses
and love
