Poetry Forms Lesson, Grades 3-5: I Am Poems

Who is talking? In about 40 minutes, students learn that an "I Am" poem is built on line starters in a set order (I am, I wonder, I hear, I see, I want, I am, then I feel, I worry, I hope, I am), that the speaker can be you or a character such as a library book or a teapot, and that who is talking changes what the poem notices.
