5. First we will use the zip code for JML 20152 You write the zip code down the side of your page. The number on that line determines how many words you put on that line. 2 (2words) Lunsford Middle 0 (no words) 1 (1 word) Outstanding 5 (5 words) A strong community of learners 2 (2 words) Always striving Your poem should be about this area, it can be about school, or the neighborhood, or something more specific within this area.

6. Now let’s try your home zip code! If it is the same as Lunsford’s then just change the words, make it about your house, or your bedroom. Make sure to keep it positive!
