Article “I” poems

This article was very interesting to me.  I have never tried to write an “I” poem, but I really like the idea of it.  I liked several things the article mentioned of why “I” poems are a fun way of teaching and learning.  One way it mentions is that it can be a way for students to deepen their literary experiences of characters, setting, plot and narrative point of view.  These poems will make them see, feel and experience the characters, setting, and the plot within a story. I like how they built a background to Sara, Plain and Tall with the I poems.  This made the readers understand Sarah and where she came from and where see was going by describing the setting.  I like the outline they give you, this is a starting point for you and the students.  I will try creating “I” poems with my students.
