5th Grade Word Mover Poetry

During National Poetry Month, various grades have created "found poetry" using ReadWriteThink.org's WordMover web tool. This week 5th grade students got to try and their efforts were impressive. Below are two especially noteworthy examples.

National Poetry Month Activity: Storybird

April is National Poetry Month and we will have poetry centered lessons, centers and activities all month long in the Woodland Heights Library. Today I tested out Storybird's poem creator. Choose artwork from a wide variety of options and then select words that fit the picture to form a poem. Hope the third graders have fun with this!
