“ I Am”

An example

WALT: Use descriptive and metaphorical language to express thoughts and ideas about ourselves.

First Stanza

I am Gabriel Emilio Hughes

I see the start of a beautiful day through my window

I feel the warmth of my blanket

I hear the song of birds, and the whoosh of cars

I want pancakes for breakfast

I am Gabriel Emilio Hughes

​

Second Stanza

I am a son, a friend, a teacher, and secretly Batman

I have a loving family, loving friends, and loving students

I am from Aotearoa, and Chile

I believe Pt England students will change the world

I hope the world celebrates difference, instead of hating it

I am Gabriel Emilio Hughes

​

Third Stanza

I wonder what the new normal will look like

I dream of art, and music

I pretend not to like country music

I worry about my mother

I understand that life is only as good as you make it

I am… Gabriel Emilio Hughes
