We are a tapestry woven of the threads of our family and its history, our environment, our ethnicity, and our culture. High school freshmen reflect on how these threads influence their goals for the future. After reading George Ella Lyon's poem "Where I'm From," class members create a list of specific details and stories that have influenced them and then craft their own "Where I'm From" poem.
