Spine Poetry
Spine poetry is a fun project I did with 4th grade this year. I don't love teaching poetry but this project really got the kids excited to create poems. Students worked in small groups to make poems out of book spines. Here are a few of my favorite examples:
I would love to try this. Did you pre-select books for them to use or did the students go to the shelves to find the books. Did students work in pairs? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt was very fun! I didn't pre-select books but you could definitely do that. They worked in 2s and 3s for the most part but had the option to work solo if they wanted. Check out Travis Jonker's 100scopenotes for more spine poetry. He collects images of spine poetry and makes a gallery! http://100scopenotes.com/2013/03/07/wanted-any-and-all-book-spine-poems/
