Your “Where I’m From” poem should communicate something about your identity. You can reveal important parts of your upbringing, your cultural or racial identity, moments - small or large - that have impacted you, moments/happenings that have influenced your personal characteristics, other humans who have influenced you to be who you are today and who you hope to become in the future.  Your poem should incorporate sensory memories like sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and feelings. 

Due:  When you finish, write it neatly on the cardstock paper (provided in class) or print it out. Then, turn it into your period’s “turn in basket” on 5/22.
