This post is cross-posted on my blog.
One subject I love to delve into with my students is poetry. I believe that poetry helps them love language and see more possibilities in what language has the power to do.
My students will become poets through a poetry unit that I have designed. Students will create many poems as they learn different styles of poetry with use of on-line resources and the smartboard and then they will bring them together by creating a podcast of their poems, or a Photo Story. Also students will post a poem they write on a classroom poetry blog. This blog will provide the structure for students and others to respond to their poems and offer feedback.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations in regards to this poetry unit. Have you tried anything with your students to teach poetry using 21st century learning strategies or technologies? What worked? What other ideas would you suggest that I incorporate into this unit of study? I would appreciate any suggestions or feedback!
The lesson plan and a film about poetry I made is posted on my website.

Great ideas, I know your students will write some great poems, can't wait to read them on your poetry blog.
I am also podcasting poetry with my students. We have haikus on my website and we will soon have limericks too. Feel free to check it out, we will look at yours too.
