One subject I love to delve into with my students is poetry. I believe that poetry helps them love language and see more possibilities in what language has the power to do.
My students will become poets through a poetry unit that I have designed. Students will create many poems as they learn different styles of poetry and then they will bring them together by creating a podcast of their poems, or a Photo Story. Also students will post a poem they write on a classroom poetry blog. This blog will provide the structure for students and others to respond to their poems and offer feedback.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations in regards to this poetry unit. Have you tried anything with your students to teach poetry using 21st century learning strategies or technologies? What worked? What other ideas would you suggest that I incorporate into this unit of study? I would appreciate any suggestions or feedback!
Please take a look at the lesson plan and a film about poetry I made on my website.

Hey, I am trying to integrate the same learning tools in my class. Over the last week I created a blog,MrPsBlog, and I created a wikispace with a poetry section. I'd love for you to check it out. I'll put your blog on my list and share some ideas with you.
