Important Deadlines! Ballad & Recording DUE Thurs. May 15th FINAL LA POETRY PROJECT PROPOSAL DUE Thurs. May 15th 2nd Draft Free Verse & Recording DUE Mon. May 19th | Thinking Homework! Start thinking about your FINAL LA POETRY PROJECT! A project proposal will be shared with you shortly. Please THINK ABOUT: Which of my poems do I wish to feature--my free verse, haikus or ballad? Do I wish to collaborate or work independently? Will I experiment with animation (real-time sketchnoting, stop motion or Scratch), digital story telling or creating a music video or music score? What images or footage would capture the symbolism within my poem? What might the setting me if I used film? |
Student Exemplars:
We viewed animation projects created by my former 6th graders at Graded, The American School of Sao Paulo, as inspirational pieces to trigger ideas.
