Because blogging is a worldwide practice, inspiration travels around the world at the speed of light! A writing prompt from Lebanese students from the American Community School in Beirut inspired a Canadian teacher (Saskatchewan is a province of Canada) to use it for her students, and now I present it to you! It is called an "I am from" poem. I will be interested to see how our "I am from" poems will be the same, or different from, Lebanese and Canadian students. Click on the links to visit the other sites so you can get some good examples. You can see that the both the Hainault and ACS follow the rules of personal safety, so please remember to post your poems, with your first name and last initial only.
If you navigate around the other schools, you might be interested to see if their lunches and school holidays are different from ours! You may also reply to the other school blogs - they like to track international visitors. Mrs. C.

Dear K.K.
I read your 'I Am From' poem. I thought it was pretty good. I especially liked the part with the dog kisses'. I can really relate to that. My students however thought the part of the blaring Ipods in the school bus home was strong. Some of my students in the school bus do the same.

I think you poem was good, ecpecialy that you like a main thing in your life(having fun outside).Here in Lebanon we can't really play outside, because there is alot of traffic, building and little space, but it's still fun. We can go to soccer fields or sporting club.
