Where Do You Want To Go?

Using Nikki Giovanni's poem, "Knoxville, Tennessee", classes at Kozminski had great conversations about places we wanted to travel through and see and what we've experienced. Students discussed going to domestic cities like Las Vegas, Madison, WI and cities down south, while others longed for France, Barcelona, and other places internationally. Most students focused on travelling in the Summer or Spring times. Students were encouraged to write the sights, sounds, and experiences down and reflect poetically.

I love travelling and I loved reading these responses...please enjoy!

One day I would like to visit Miami.
In my eyes, Miami is the place to be.
I’m hearing that Miami is so super hot.
Seeing Miami women gives me the fever.
All I want is to run up and down Miami’s beach.
I wonder about Miami.

Memphis, Tennessee
Michelle G.

I always like spending my Summer vacations in
Memphis.

It’s fun.

I mostly like to go so I can spend time
With my family.
And eat fried chicken,
Mashed potatoes,
Collard greens,
Sweet water cornbread
And some Sweet tea.

I mostly like to go swimming
Because you can got on water slides
And get dunked by fine brothers.

I love Memphis, Tennesee.

I always like the deep blazing sun
With the glowing water in Jamaica.

Jamaica is the place where you party all night.

Dancing, singing, hoola hooling around the floor.

Smiling, playing in the wavy water.
Water so clear you may drink.

Mississippi

I love the Summer.
I ate fresh corn on the cob.
And cabbage.
And ice cream.
And juice or pop.
And barbeque chicken wings.
I listen to Pop and Gospel music.
I saw flying trees.
I heard them whooshing.
I didn’t even want to go to sleep.
Mississippi.

Trip To Wisconsin
Shantial P.

I always like Summer best.
You can eat Mexican corn.
And my cousin..
She makes the best Shrimp fried rice
And we made homemade ice cream.
We listened to Hip Hop music.
We went to the park
And we rolled down a huge hill.
That was the best trip yet.

France
Tynaz S.

I always liked Spring best!
If you like Spring, then go to France.
They have luxurous foods
And cute nice clothes
And shoes that are to die for.
And the food is so good.
They have the best salad.
I just love to go to France!
Wait til you see it’s soo great.
