Project

For my project I am demonstrating how IMovie can be used to help express poetry, visually. Incorporating still pictures with my own written poetry -based on these images- will show a connection between what we write and what we see. I have always had a passion for writing poetry, and I think having students write poetry based on pictures or concrete images will help them appreciate a genre that they may otherwize feel disconnected from. Also, it is important for students to expreience different point of views and perspectives in their own writing in addition to exploring voice and point of view when they are read literature. Choosing a topic that truly interests me and that I feel I will use in the classroom has been challenging, but I am very excited about sharing and learning poetry in this new way.
