Sharing Our Thoughts and Feelings Through Poetry

On this blog you will find our poetry.  We have learned that poets use many different poetic devices to help them express themselves through their writing.  We have been hard at work creating poems using what we have learned.  It is our hope to use this blog to help us share OUR thoughts and feelings with YOU.  

We used the Explain Everything app and Doodlecast Pro app on our i-pads to record and share our own adaptations of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' to compliment our "Starry Night Poems."   Our poetry anthologies were created using the Scribble Press app and Book Creator app.  This allows us to share our poems on a more global scale so that people (like you) all over the world can share in our learning and enjoy our creations.  

We would love to hear from you!  As you read our poems please consider commentingThe video below has great ideas for writing positive and thoughtful comments.

Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey! An acquaintance of mine shared your project on Facebook, and I thought this was a fantastic idea. I'm hoping to try something similar with my class this year. In the meantime, I just wanted to let you and your students know that you truly did reach a global audience! Well done, I enjoyed your work.
