  1. 10th 1.9

  2. Anaphora The repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a clause. Poets use the device to emphasize an idea’s importance.

  3. Subculture A smaller subsection of a culture; for example, the artsy students area subculture within the culture of a high school.

  4. On your Target Diagram... Consider several subcultures for each ring. Think about your experiences as members of each subculture. Identify images or ideas that reflect each subculture and write those words or draw those images in the appropriate ring.

  5. While I read… • Mark the text by: • Underlining images Lyon uses to show where and what she is from. • Circle diction related to her culture • and descriptive details showing the reader her culture.

  6. In your Journal… What can you infer, conclusions can you draw, about the speaker’s culture from her diction and descriptive details? Look at the poems structure, how do the stanzas represent types of information? How does the repetition of “I am from” create momentum, or movement (shifts), in the poem? Be prepared to share!

  7. Revisit the target diagram Highlight two or three images or symbols that are significant to you. In your journal Free Write on the significance of these images and use details, diction, and figurative language to describe aspects of your own culture.

  8. Now it’s your turn! • Looking at your target diagram and the writing you just did, draft a “Where I’m From” poem copying Lyon’s poetic style. • Be sure to include: • 4 stanzas • 25 lines minimum (30 max) • Anaphora: “I’m From” • Details, Diction, Figurative Language from your own experiences.
