Ok, I have finally gotten around to posting your final poetry projects, the "Where I'm From" poems. I am going to put 5 or so on each post. Please go on, read the poems and let your classmates know what you liked and found interesting about their poems.

Where I’m From

I’m from ice rinks and sail boats
I’m from violin lessons and girl scouts
I’m from apple pie and cheese cake
I’m from weekends and Mondays
I’m from tee-shirts and snow pants
I’m from scrapbooks and journals
I’m from videos and DVD’s
I’m from I’m from maps and GPS’s
I’m from cats and I’m from dogs
I’m from personal narrative and poems
I’m from Mrs. Beasly and Kiddles
I’m from Madonna and U2
I’m from Skittles and Sour Patch Kids
but most of all I’m from memories.
Katherine

Where I’m from



I’m from The World of Cats
and Erin Hunter.
From Booksville
and the band Colplay.
I’m from Disneyworld, Facebook,
and Cartoon Network.
From Animal Planet
and the movie Avatar.
I’m from the Monopoly Universe,
my Ipod, and chocolate.
From Vegetariansville, swimming,
and my DS.
I’m from Snowman City, Sledding,
and the big rock behind my house.
I’m from all the places I’ve ever been
and all the things I’ve ever done.

By: Emma



I’m from Aero chocolate, from crystal rocks in my plastic container. I’m from “this thing won’t react!” & “Sheesh!”. I’m from a country with kings & queens and roast lamb with gravy.

I’m from foxes in the garden and frog catching & the black cat on my wall.I’m from the Cub Scouts and my loser mobile. My apple and pear tree. I’m from ACDC and Guns and Roses. I’m from rock and pop, the Wii and “I’ll betcha five dollars I’m right!” I’m from a fun dad and mum plus a annoying brother. I’m from “I wish I had that” and “ MAX! MAX! MAAAAAAAAAAAAX!”That's where I’m from.

By Alexander C


I am from the from my unfinished homework.
I am from the sadness from my heart.
I am from the happiness of my soul.

I am from the candy in my wrapper.
I am the lead singer for Lady Gaga

I am from the curiosity in a baby’s head.

I am from the shock when someone’s feelings get hurt.
I am the guy that works with James Bond.
I am the earth.


by Noah



Where I’m From

I am from homemade Italian food.
The great smells would fill the kitchen.

I am from Suzanne and Enrico.
I am from video games and scrabble.

I am from Blues Clues
and all of those other kids shows.

I am from tasty spaghetti
with homemade meatballs and sauce.

I am from Reese peanut butter cups.
I am from drums and Guitar Hero.

I am from brownies and cookies
I am from Frisbee and Badmitten

Katherine's is so good because I agree with her music choices and her candy choices.I also love
APPLE PIE because of the apples the flavor.I love ACDC like Alex c it is so awesome. I'm suprised that Noah put in Lady gaga because she just famous a little while ago or I might be wrong!?!I wonder why Katherine put short sleeves and snow pants in the same sentince.I agree with Ginia because I love guitar hero.

I thought that Katherine's poem was really good. My favorite part of that poem was the end. It sounds to me like she might be wrapping up the whole poem with the last line.

I thought Gianna's poem made me hungry. My mom and Gianna's mother used to work together.
When she mentioned badmitten It made me think of the time my stepfather and I played badmitten at my grandmother's house.

I noticed that you can tell whose peom is whose by the way that they wrote it. Like on Emma's it says "I'm From The World of Cats". You can tell that's Emmas because we all know she loves cats. On Alex C.'s it says "I'm from a country with kings and queens and roast lamb with gravy." We can tell that is Alex C. because he is from Great Britian. You know that mine is mine because you know that I play hockey and violin and that I sail.

I agree with Katherine and Will D. because I LOVE apple pie. I also agree with Katherine because she said "I'm from cats and I'm from dogs" I LOVE CATS!!!!!! And I don't really know why Alex C. put "Max". Is that your nickname or something? And I agree with Gianna and Will AGAIN because I like Guitar Hero, too. ( Even though I'm not very good at it :S ) Also liked Noah's because it was descriptive.
P.S. Why didn't anyone mention mine? :(

Yo Everybody,
I like Katherine's because it's so her! But some of it is her family like scrapbooking because her mom is a crazy scrapbooker and Madonna. I also like how Emma said "I'm from Vegetariansville" because she's a vegetarian. She didn't just say "I'm from being a vegetarian" because that would be pretty boring.
I think it's SO funny in Alex C's poem that one of the sayings is "Sheesh!" and everybody in my family always says that. I just think that's so serendipidious.(I used the word of the day!!)
I'm not trying to pick favorites here, but Noah's is really cool. There are some parts I am wondering about though so, Noah, if you come on, can you answer them? I'm wondering why you have the sadness in your heart or was that a family thing? I thought the most funny part was when he said "I am the guy who works with James Bond." I just thought that that was hilarious! So, that means that you watch James Bond movies, right?
I like how Gianna's poem is kind of snappy with each paragraph. It makes a pace in the poem. I have a question though. Who is Suzanne and Enrico? Are they your grandparents because the names seem kind of old fashioned.
I can't wait until my poem goes on and hear what everybody thinks about it:)

I like Katherine's because it perfectly describes her. I like the line that says "I'm from apple pie and cheese cake". I like it because I love both those things. I also like how Emma's doesn't just compare two things, it compares three or four things. I found somehting interesting in Noah's poem. It says " I am the guy that works with James Bond. I also like how Noah's says " I am the Earth". It could mean so many things. It could mean that he helps the Earth. It could mean that he really IS the Earth. What else do you think it means?

I find it funny that as i was reading Emma's i didnt even have to see the name. Its obvious it was hers because of the cats!! The resst of the poem dosnt seem like Emma. :P Theres No cats involved with the rest.
But then reading Gianna's I had to read the name to know who it was. Because it didn't involve cheese.
I think Katherines poem was good because of the end. Its a really good way to rap up the poem.

Emmas poem is awesome!!!:O She has alot of stuff that relates to each other. Like Erin Hunter and cats. I love her ending!!!

This poem has alot of stuff that I already knew about her, but there are things that I didn't know about her. I had no idea that she liked Coldplay!!! And judging from her last sentence I am guessing that she likes winter.

I found it interesting that all the five poems have a different set up. For example, Katherine used only one paragraph and Noah used four paragraphs. Just like everyone else, Gianna's poem made me want eat a nice big bowl of spaghetti! Katherine, why did you write about a GPS and a map, did you have to study those things a lot when you went somewhere? Alex C., I have a feeling that Max is your brother! I have heard plenty of stories about you and him. Noah, the last two sentences of your first paragraph are unbelievable! Where did you come up with that?
The dreadful Cam aaaaaahhhh!

Alex L., thanks for the complement! And yes, I do like Colplay. P.s. Alex you spelled Colplay wrong you spelled it Coldplay but it's really Colplay. :P And yes, my favorite season is winter because there are no bugs and I like playing in the snow. :D ( Bugs scare me ) Gianna, I wrote the one about c-a-t-n-i-p ( I still can't say it or I will go CRAZY! ) And by the way, in my poem Erin Hunter is the person that wrote the Warriorcats series and they are my all-time favorite books! And Katherine what is Mrs.Beasly???? And Kiddles???? Are they T.V. shows??? Or books??? Either way I haven't ever heard of them. And I think Herb is right that you can tell who wrote the poem just by reading it. Like on mine it has cats and on Katherine's ice rinks because we all know she plays hockey. :)


Try to find the word CAT in this sentence...
The cat went to the cat market and got cat food for its cat friend who was in his cat bed. :) KITTYS!

I like what other people said about mine. Alot of you wonder who Max is. Max is my little demon brother who will probably annoy me to the ends of the earth. I like food and video games which Gianna's poem included. I like Noah's poem becuase it was very descriptive. Like some other people I'm surprised that Gianna didn't include cheese.(I still like it more though.) On that note I think I'll.......Sorry the writer has just had a freak accident.(the next day) From (the guy thats in intensive care) Cheeseball

I like how Emma wrote hers. I don't know why, but there is something about it that draws me in. I don't get how Noah's says "I am the lead singer for Lady Gaga". I like how Noah said "I am from the candy in my wrapper". It is a lot more interesting than "I am from candy". I thought it was really funny how Alex C's was "I’m from "this thing won’t react!" & "Sheesh!" I also thought it was cool how he talked about his black cat on his wall.
Sarah- I know who Enrico and Suzanna are. They are Gianna's mom and dad. But I do think one of her grandpa's name's is Enrico........

I like Gianna's because I also like badmitten and frisbee. I like Kathrine's because dogs and cats as well. I like Emma's because it counts in Animal Planet.(1 of my faviroite channels.) I wonder if anyone included they're pets names. I think Noah's was mildy amusing when he said that he was from unfinished homework. From(The dude that survived another explosion)Cheeseball

Evil doers beware,Cheeseinator is here. Seems like people are still wondering about Max.(I already told you in my spy letter!!! Hint,hint.) Gianna, losermobile is what I named my cars I used tomake in the Cub Scouts. Commecial break: Buy cheese now! Don't fall for those phoney store brands like "Cheese Lover way more than Alex" and others. Come to "Cheeseball's Cheese" for great prices and higher value. "We now continue with our program with your host Cheeseball!!" "Thank you,thank you! I would like to leave some wise words before I leave the show. Here I go! EAT CHEESE NOW!!! Goodbye!"
Producer: Cheeseball
Special thanks to: Cheeseball,Alex Cutler and the one and only Cheeseinator!!
P.S. I like how people like Guns & Roses and ACDC.
