Your turn to tell me about YOU!

This PRIMARY SOURCE will be a tool

that allows Mrs. Patterson to understand a little more about who you are and
what your life is like, JUST LIKE we use primary sources from history to
understand about other people and events in other times. Make it unique to
you! NO GENERICS (I go to Thurman White, I am in the 7th grade, I live
in Nevada) I already know that! Tell me things I don’t know about you. (20

After creating your poem on this sheet, copy and paste your poem into the
submission box on Canvas to turn it in. If you would like to record reading
your poem, you may turn it in that way as well.

**As always, if you tell me anything that leads me to believe that you are in
danger, it is my JOB to keep you safe and report it!!**

Name: Period:

I AM Alexandria Ann Coomes

I WONDER when I will die because death is not my fear
I HEAR people tapping and talking and it makes me want to
scream but I don't because it would hurt my ears
I SEE beautiful people and then a bunch of jerks
I LOVE my family and my boyfriend
I AM a artist on tumblr

I PRETEND that I am tough when I am really very scared

I FEEL scared when people talk loud
I WANT a cookie
I WORRY about my friends
I CRY when someone makes fun of me
I AM a weird kid

I UNDERSTAND that people will not always be nice to me

I SAY they don't mean it
I DREAM that I can run far away from here
I TRY to forget people's words
I HOPE that people will learn I am not like them and never
will be
I AM a funny person in my opinion
