We read, analyzed, and discussed the poem "I am an Earthling". Students then worked on corresponding questions; they were then given time to work on their own "I am" poem.
Criteria for "I am" Poem:
1) Pick anything (ex. unicorn/dinosaur/mountain) and write from the perspective of that thing.
2) 12 lines minimum
3) 3 words minimum per line
4) Free Verse (no pattern or rhyme needed; of course, if you want a pattern or rhyme, feel free to include that)
Reminders:
- "The Earthling" questions: due next class
- "I am" Poem: due next class
