It's DigiLit Sunday! Thank you, Margaret, for this week's topic, Digital Poetry.
I've written about this before, but each year, I start with 6th graders writing "Where I'm From" poems, modeled on George Ella Lyon's beautiful mentor text. We then make them into Animoto videos. I haven't had a chance to share this year's creations, so during this National Poetry Month and Margaret's perfect topic, now's the time! Here are a few!

Holly, this project allowed your students to be creative as they moved from a non-digital to digital platforms. Congratulations! Happy #NPM17 to you and your students.
ReplyDeleteHolly, I want to do these with my kids. Can you send me a link to your Animoto site? I cannot access blogs at school, and I want to show your students' videos as models. I watched Kayley's because she's won my heart with a sweet comment on a post in Kidblog. Please tell her how much I loved it. Did they post these on their Kidblog? Maybe we can access them there. Email me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific, Holly! George Ella Lyon's poem is a great one to use at the beginning of the year. I love the dimension the video adds to your students' poems.
