Who am I?

I know your names.  I can recognize your faces.  I have a sense of your personalities as they are shown in the context of the classroom, but do I really know who you are?  How much do we know about each other? 

I'd like you to express yourself and your identity through the "I AM" poem prompt.  You may follow it line by line or put your own creative spin on it.  Fill in the blanks to create your own poem that best reflects who you are beneath the 10th grader sitting in that row, in that desk, during that period of Ms. DePalo's English class.

To complete the poem, start off each line with the following prompts and then fill in the blanks with your own words:

I am    _____________

I wonder _____________

I hear   _____________

I see     _____________

I want _____________

I am    _____________

*You do not have to comment on another classmate's poem, but some feedback is always nice to receive.
