Editable I Am Poem Template – 13 Writing Prompts

Thirteen sentence-starter prompts, including 'I am,' 'I was born to,' 'I fear,' 'I am inspired by,' and 'I will,' guide students through writing a personal identity poem in this two-slide editable PowerPoint template. The first slide presents the blank prompts with fill-in lines for students to complete, while the second slide repeats the same thirteen prompts with a parenthetical explanation beside each one, such as clarifying that 'I fear' should name 'a challenge, uncertainty, or thing you struggle with,' to help students understand what kind of response each line expects. Because the template is fully editable in PowerPoint, a teacher could adjust the prompt wording or format before assigning it, or students could complete it digitally rather than by hand. The structure moves students from open self-reflection prompts toward a complete personal poem covering identity, values, fears, and future goals.
