Write a narrative poem about events from The Narrative of the Life of NAME_1 using relevant details and event sequences that make sense. Use effective narrative techniques to develop the character and events in the poem. Provide a conclusion that reflects on the narrated experience of NAME_1 and connects it to a larger, more universal message. Retell the story of NAME_2’s life using The Narrative of the Life of NAME_1 (Excerpt 1, Excerpt 2, Excerpt 3), and ”How NAME_2 Escaped Slavery” in an engaging and creative way. Use NAME_3’s “Where I’m From” poem as a model text and fill in the template to retell NAME_2’s story and reflect on his legacy. Write a 3-stanza poem that demonstrates your knowledge of the life of NAME_1, uses vivid word choice, imagery (show vs. tell), and figurative language (similes, metaphors, hyperbole, personification). The poem should be appropriate for upper elementary students and convey a message that is broadly applicable to situations beyond the story. Improve my original poem by rewriting it with new ideas and additional content: NAME_1 Narrative Poem ---------------- St1 I am from the corvee in the fields, From the whip and the chain, From the unhappiness of a lack of information about my own. I'm from a black field hand and a white man. I'm from the news of my mother's death, like a stranger, in the distant past, and the most terrible spectacle. I'm from the blood stained gate and the entrance to the hell of slavery. I was about to pass the gate, and I wish I could commit to paper the feelings with which I behold it. ------------- St 2 I am on the thorny path from slavery to freedom. Learning to read at any cost From the perilous journey with New York - and freedom - my intended destination I'm from unfettered, vowed to try to escape again and again Of minutes becoming hours and hours becoming days Of the help of NAME_4, and on Sept. 3, 1838, my free life began And of life as an abolitionist crusader I am of my writings, my speeches, and my help to NAME_5. And "What to an American slave is your 4th of July!" ------------St3 I am from the continuing struggle for racial justice and equality in America and the world.
