I would not change a single thing because these books are very special to us, and they show our feelings through the poems.

I liked your speech that you gave us. It inspired me because I thought about me and my little sister because she gets picked on my me and now I know how she feels about it.

What was good about it is that the hard work in creating this book really pays off.

Assembly presentation

Thank you for coming to our assembly. It really made me think how other people think of each other and about me. I invited my cousin. He has really tried to see things from my point of view. I don't know how he does it, but he does.

My book

When someone asks me about my book, I say it is mostly about my dad. I had fun writing it and couldn't have done it without my teacher, Ann Parr, and my mother.

Published book project Grade 6

What is good about my book is that my poems have a part of me in them. So people learn a little about me. If you get the opportunity to write a book of your own, snatch it up like a mouse with cheese.

Thank you for coming to our school to give a speech for us sixth graders. I think it taught us all a good lesson. I invited my mom because she takes my friends and me everywhere, and I love her a lot. Thank you, Mrs. Parr.

Gordon Parks

Thank you for spending your time to visit us and talk about Gordon Parks. I learned that he looked like his dad. And his mom said what a white boy can do you can do with no excuses. I thought it was interesting to learn about someone I don't know. And some one who visited him. The most interesting part to me was his childhood.

Gordon Parks

Thank you for coming and talking to us about Gordon Parks. It was interesting to learn about a black person. I learned not to give up and to keep trying no matter what happened.

Gordon Parks

Thanks for coming. It was good to learn more about what white boys did to black boys. The interesting thing was how he liked to paint pictures and write books. I like how he came to be a LIFE magazine worker.
