Atlanta History

Anna 9/20

            I learned that in 1832 In Atlanta most streets were unpaved. I also learned that in Oakland cemetery a lot of the people that first lived in Atlanta are buried there. I also learned that Hartsfield Jackson used to be an abandoned racetrack. I also learned that the Native Americans were kicked out in 1820. I also learned that land in Atlanta was very hard to farm. I think that Atlanta history changed a lot from then to now.

In Oakland we had to pick a word that represents Oakland and we took pictures of words and made them into a word to make a poem.

I really liked doing this project and I think it’s a good way to get better at poems.

I think this really helped me a lot for poetry. I would like to do this again.

Here is my poem:

                                                            Oakland         

                                                           

Beautiful designs

            At Oakland Cemetery I learned that people from a long time ago lived there. A lot of the famous people lived there.  One guy opened a golf course. The Neal family had a department store with an elevator and a glass plate window. There was a Confederate Section that has some of the soldiers that died in the war.

The lion in the confederate section was for the war. It was a wounded  lion. It was very sad because a lot of people died. There was a place called Potters Field. The people that were buried there were poor people who couldn’t afford to buy a stone.Anna 9/13
