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.

These are beautiful poems and stories! We have been doing digital stories with Bridges to Understanding, and the scanning across a page/photo is similar.
