Summer Camp 2011 - Daily Diary: Lafayette Day 8

Today we continued to explore persona and identity. The students wrote Persona Poems following a template and made masks to go with them. They also wrote Letters to their Future Selves!

Andy: about Justin Bieber’s persona

 

I understand that you might not like me.

I say that I am good at singing.

I dream that I’m the best singer.

I try to sing good.

I hope that I don’t get a cracked voice.

I am cool and nice.

 

SJ: from Iron Man to Hulk

 

I understand that he is stronger.

I say that I am stronger.

I dream that I am strongest.

I try to hold a building.

I hope I am strongest.

I am brave and strong.

 

Genie: sister to a sister

 

I pretend that I’m a princess or a singer

I feel a comforting and warm hand.

I touch my dress, my hair, and my face.

I worry about my lost library book.

I cry when I hurt myself or am sick.

I am adventurous and curious.

 

Suah: Letter to self

 

I honestly think that all the stuff I need is already with me. I have a family, an education, a future, and a heart. I feel that though I might not have everything I want, I feel like I don’t need anything more or less because all the things I need are already with me.

 

Ruby: letter to self

 

I think war should end because it just some silly idea and people get hurt.
