For my topic, I decided to do research about “The Great Human Migration.” The migration of people from Africa to the rest of the world. The specific group I chose was the Native Americans. Their journey from Africa across Asia and through part of Russia into North America.
My daily practice would be a poem. The poem would be written from the first-person point of view as if it were a person during the times of The Great Migration. Doing this would help to get a feel of what it might have been like during those times.
Day 1
Today is the day,
My tribe is moving out to the unknown.
I am worried and afraid.
I move quickly into the bright sun.
The trees sway with every motion.
My father grabs my hand.
Our steps in sync
It is time to see the outside world.
