I taught my sister, Dominica how to
write a poem. As luck would have it, the
same English teacher who gave me this assignment, also gave Dominica the poem
assignment. She had finished her poem, and
had my mom look it over, and then my mom had the idea I could help. At first I was not happy, and neither was
Dominica. I was unhappy because I don’t
like to do homework at home. She was
unhappy because she felt inferior, I believe.
However, as things progressed, she became more confident, and I became
more relaxed. In the end I believe we
both benefited and enjoyed the experience.
We started by reading the
poem. The content was really good, and Mama
thought it might be one of the best things Dominica had ever written. I told her to combine sentences by using only
the important words to make phrases. I
think she understood my directions and comprehended well; by the last stanza I
had to help, but not much.
Even though I hate doing homework
at home, I must say this was a wonderful experience. I loved the way we communicated with one
another, and I initiated conversation throughout the exercise. Thanks, Mrs. Pappenfoht.
