She’s the First Poetry Month 2012 Submission!

              Students were asked to write a poem answering the question: 

           If the World Was Your Classroom, What Would you teach a girl?

                                                                         —-

If the world was my classroom, I would teach a girl about what and who makes up this world.

I would take her to Egypt to observe the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

I would take her to the fashion capital of Milan, Italy to see where creativity in design is one-of-a-kind.

I would take her to the Great Wall of China, one of the world’s greatest structures for defense.

I would take her to the United Kingdom to see Stonehenge, a megalithic rock monument.

I would take her to Australia to listen to music and watch ballet at the Sydney Opera House.

I would take her to Tanzania to explore Mount Kilimanjaro and its three volcanic cones.

I would take her to France to learn how to make tomato bisque or crème brulée.

I would take her to the Amazon River in South America, which is the largest river in the world.

I would take her to Peru to climb Machu Picchu, one of the Incas best creations.

I would take her to New York to view the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom.

If the world was my classroom, each day is a new day to learn and discover.

-Jennifer, College Student
