And they don't have to be haiku - it can be any writing and any number of pages/slides.<br />http://mainelywrite.blogspot.com/2014/03/refrigerated-haiku.html<br />http://mainelywrite.blogspot.com/2014/03/shivering-poems.html<br />You may want to also check out this blog that tells about incorporating HaikuDeck with ExplainEverything (an app) to do a poem presentation:<br />https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/explain-everything/<br />I retired before I could use this in the classroom, and I had first graders...however, I've done similar things with them using much older technology. This would seem to be something the kids would like and I would love to use with a class! See what you think. To begin with, try the Haiku Deck for poem presentations (it's online and free). If you have a camera or camera phone they would have a great time snapping images to go with their poetry presentation.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-67347935605936209212014-07-26T18:40:00.113-05:002014-07-26T18:40:00.113-05:00So fun, Katie!
