Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month, and several classes are enjoying the fun and challenge of incorporating poetry into their lessons.  Today I came across a wonderful project in which 7th graders used Word Art on their computers to "illuminate" a favorite poem -- a perfect blending of techmology and English.  Here is an illustration by Alexis F. of a poem called "Fireflies" by Paul Fleischman.  More illustrations can be found posted outside the computer lab.
