I would like for you to write, an essay, book report of any word count that you choose. Make it a separate static item. The report should be about the poetry of this lesson plan that you read of the Native Americans. The questions are this ....

1. Did all of the poetry in the lesson tell a story?
2. If it did, Which poem did you like the best?
3. What about the poem of the story that they told, stood out to you the most?

Your three words for this lesson:

Go with me = Kstaqua du 'ga
I will ride with him = Da-tsi-'tsa-ne-'li
I am speaking = Tsi-wo-ni-hu

From reading the poetry above , you have an idea of the storytelling involved in their poetry. Not every writer on writing.com are poets, some do not even write poetry. But how else do you expand your writing ability except to try to write in new area's, after all .... isn't that the real reason why you took this class ? To learn to write in another area ? To learn to write in area's that you have not written in before? To expand your writing ability and your horizons ?
1. Write a poem that tells a descriptive story.
2. This poem can be in any style, as long as it is a poem.
