The Best Part of Me: A Multimedia Poetry Unit
Posted by Juli on January 29, 2008 in Content Areas, Language Arts, Photo Story 3, The Arts
This project showcases the work of Orca teacher Katherine Law and her former students. As part of their work with a poet-in-residence, the students wrote poems about themselves, and used digital cameras to create a classroom book. The photography portion was inspired by the work of Wendy Ewald. The next step was to record students reciting their poety. The final step was to put everything together using Photostory 3.

A 4th grade teacher shared this National Park Service resource site (Birth Home Tour) that gives a virtual tour of Martin Luther King Jr.’s boyhood home in Atlanta Georgia. Using this site you can gain a better understanding by seeing and reading about his boyhood home. Also you can download the text for many of King’s speeches at this site (MLK Speeches). More National Park virtual tours can be found at http://www.nps.gov/ .
