"Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyon
If you missed class today, you need to make up your EOC Passage Analysis based on "Ain't I a Woman" by Sojourner Truth.
We spent the rest of class completing SpringBoard pages 22-23. This means that we read "Where I'm From" and marked up the text for vocabulary, likes, and wonders. Then, we marked parts of the poem that reveal aspects of the speaker's culture: education, food, religion, family, geography. Finally, we completed the writing prompt on page 23. Students turned in their own "Where I'm From" poems before the bell!
