It would be so neat to have a collection of these from different generations!<br>I've thought about asking my writing students to do compose one of these, but we are an "academic writing" class. However, I might use it when we talk about description or when we like Marianne did when we work on autobiographies.

I recently posted about the poem (http://marianne.livejournal.com/306561.html) too. It actually began as a lesson I planned for my students (Year 10s). And I did it too just to make sure it was do-able and I enjoyed doing it! I made a template as well (http://marianne.livejournal.com/306929.html), cause although I found the one you linked too, I didn't like it.<br>Have you thought of getting your students to write one?<br>mariannehttp://marianne.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-23964590879050519752007-09-26T17:49:15.000+08:002007-09-26T17:49:15.000+08:00Very comforting - cozy words!I am all about the ch...Very comforting - cozy words!<br>I am all about the chips and salsa!<br>Blessings,<br>Sue<br>Sue@praise and coffeehttp://www.praiseandcoffee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-45100122712504894962007-09-26T17:48:50.000+08:002007-09-26T17:48:50.000+08:00This poem is so cool.

I don't see much difference except I played with different dolls.

I was born there, but thankfully I got to grow up in Texas. I've always been pretty bitter about my mom making me be born outside of Texas. At least my two kids can claim Native Texan status. My husband and I met and married in Ft. Worth right there at the court house.<br>AllyJohttp://allyjoserudition.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-69014679345108583112007-09-26T17:37:33.000+08:002007-09-26T17:37:33.000+08:00I LOVED reading this, Amanda!

There's something about the cadence of this poem [maybe it's something else, too], but whatever it is about these "Where I'm From" poems makes me have goosebumps every time I read one! I enjoyed reading where you were from. You've probably seen mine - it's on my sidebar. I think it's a good exercise for anyone to think thru and write.<br>Debhttp://girottifamily.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
