MEANING: ideas that a person communicates in writing or speaking. Those ideas can include facts, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, values, and positions on issues. Meaning can be directly stated, but sometimes it needs to be inferred.

STYLE: how an author, poet, or speaker uses techniques to create effects like emphasis, surprise, pauses, a slow or fast pace, brevity, and wordiness. Those techniques include the words you choose to use; how you arrange words, phrases, clauses and sentences; how you use grammar; and how you use figurative language.

​Each morning starts a new, uncharted race,
The lockers clang, the voices rise and blend,
A hundred faces flash, each holds its place,
Between the bells that mark where classes end.

The art of math, the mystery of prose,
The lunchroom laughter, whispered hallway schemes,
In every nook, a hidden story grows,
Of fleeting friendships and tomorrow's dreams.

The moments big and small, they intertwine,
A test, a smile, a sudden burst of glee,
These bricks and tiles, this winding daily climb,
A canvas painted with discovery.

Though years may pass, and days like shadows flee
These middle school halls hold eternity.

​In crowded halls, the laughter echoes loud,
Each day a puzzle, full of joy and dread,
We find ourselves among the shifting crowd.

The teachers’ gaze, the rules, the answers vowed,
The books we carry, thoughts inside our head,
In crowded halls, the laughter echoes loud.

The lunchtime chats, the whispers not allowed,
The games we play, the tears we sometimes shed,
We find ourselves among the shifting crowd.

Mistakes are made, yet still we are endowed
With dreams of growth and paths we’ll someday tread.
In crowded halls, the laughter echoes loud,

For here we learn to stand, to speak unbowed,
To face each fear, and rise with hope instead.
We find ourselves among the shifting crowd.

And though it’s hard, we leave here feeling proud,
A maze survived, with memories widespread.
In crowded halls, the laughter echoes loud,
We find ourselves among the shifting crowd.

The bell rings sharp, slicing the air,
and we scatter like birds,
each with a destination,
some confident, some unsure.

Lockers slam shut,
like punctuation in a story still unfolding.
The math teacher drones on about equations,
but my mind draws maps of galaxies instead.

In the cafeteria,
it’s a dance of trays and choices.
Who sits where?
What’s cool today?
