How To Win My Heart
By Beckham, Year 10
How To Win My Heart
1. Cook and share your food with me
2. Check-in and care for me if I look down
3. Be kind to everyone and respect them
4. Speak with honesty and don’t lie
5. Cheer me on in whatever I’m doing
6. Buy me stuff even if I said you don’t have to.
This poem, How to Win My Heart by Beckham, was written as a part of Story Factory’s Write Your World program. In this eight week long workshop series students had the opportunity to vent, roast, complain and to praise, compliment and celebrate! They created a varied suite of short pieces that included poetry, short narratives, informative writing and multimodal texts. All this writing, afforded students fun and engaging opportunities to develop ideas, experiment with writing strategies as they let off steam, give sick burns and take off their hats to their passions and enthusiasms.
