Where I'm From

This writing project is inspired by the poem Where I'm From, written by writer/teacher George Ella Lyon.

To listen to Mrs. Lyon read her poem, click here.
George Ella Lyon writes, "I believe that writing belongs to everybody.
My goals are to show children, teens and adults the wealth of their own stories, to share the joy of creating, and to demonstrate that writing is a process. Stories aren't something outside of us. We live stories. We hear and feel poems.
We just have to practice writing them down. You don't have to know where to start.
You don't have to have the right words.
You don't have to know how to spell the words you do have.
You just have to begin and keep going."
