Creating “I am” poems with my students…
I am curious and altruistic
I wonder about the future
I hear “Have a Nice Day” by Bon Jovi
I see whirling explosions of color and japanese tea gardens
I want for those that I love to be happy
I am curious and altruistic
I pretend that I live closer to the beach than I do
I feel frustrated when I see apathy
I touch ticky, tacky keyboard keys
I worry about the reaction to change
I cry less often than I should
I am curious and altruistic
I understand that most people just want to be understood
I say every person is powerful
I dream about crazy things in other worlds and other lives
I try almost anything new
I hope for adventure and rest
I am curious and altruistic
