Your first journal assignment is an illustrated "I Am" poem, following the example on the handout in class. Your illustration may be a drawing, something you cut out from a magazine, or something you print from the computer. It may be a picture of you or something that is very important to you. The illustration should express something about you as a person.
Grading: Effort, vocabulary, and presentation (how it looks) are all counted for the grade.
This blog is from a 9th grade English class and it has examples of "I Am" poems. Check it out to see what these students did!
