1.“I Am From” Poem. Here is an example:

I Am From
by Ms. Adler
 
I am from huckleberry pancakes, blackberry jam, dirt-flavored carrots, and water from the well.
 
I am from mountains, sagebrush, cold rivers and freshly split logs, of deer in the garden and great horned owls in the trees.
 
I am from books, riding horses, and camping in alpine meadows, from Schneider, Wilson, Kerr, and Adler.
 
From “Look it up in the dictionary,” “I could make that for less,” and “I love you.”
 
I’m from California, Oregon, and Boston, from Ireland, Tyrol, and Yugoslavia.
 
From science and philosophy, Catholicism, and social justice.
 
I am from a family who loves nature, values empathy and friendship, and loves to gather with our own children over long weekends and lots of good food!
