Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will compose a personal free-verse poem using guided sentence starters to describe their traits, feelings, and experiences.
Students will select specific personal details (a memory, a sound, a belief) to fill in each poem line based on the parenthetical prompt.
Teaching tips
Model one or two completed lines aloud before students begin, since the parenthetical hints (e.g. 'a hope or desire') require some interpretation for younger writers.
Use the editable format to shorten or simplify the prompts for the youngest students, since all eight lines are on a single template.
Have students illustrate their finished poem on the back or a separate page to extend the activity for early finishers.
Skills covered
Personal narrative poem writing — students complete guided 'I Am' poem lines describing their own traits, feelings, and memories.
Descriptive word choice — students select a specific adjective, sound, or belief to fill each prompted blank.
