But they are also often surprised to discover that we can have very different images of the same poem. One way to highlight this imagistic power of poetry is to use poems in conjunction with images, matching poems and pictures that seem to go together. We have taken this idea and created several poem posters and postcards that pair poems with contemporary photographs. You can download and/or print them at the Pomelo Books site here.
Here is one example from The Poetry Friday Anthology for Middle School, just to get you started.
I really love this poem by Renee LaTulippe for several reasons, but most of all because:
ReplyDelete1. it celebrates "making"
2. it works with a wide range of ages
3. it will inspire young people to try something new

I want my students to be the MAKERS, not just the CONSUMERS.
ReplyDeleteYES! I just read a good resource book about the Maker Movement: DESIGN, MAKE, PLAY: Growing the Next Generation of STEM innovators. The best thing about Making is that it develops courage.
