Imagery Name Poems

Instructions and Example Below:

You will be writing a poem using your own name and connecting it to an image.

•Go to Piclits.

•Browse through the pictures and find one you like.

•Choose "freestyle" from the create menu, and create your poem based on the the format below.



Here is an example:



After you write your poem and read it over, skitch it. Save the skitched image to your server. Print out a copy, making sure that your image is horizontal and fits the page.

If you have time, you may use the drag and drop to write a "found word" poem. Or write another freestyle poem. Explore. Create. Have fun.

"One-Click Mitzvah"- A Simple Thing

We've coined a new term- "one-click mitzvah." This refers to an easy way to use technology to give to others. There are many sites now set up to donate money based on a number of visits (or clicks) to the site.
All of our computers in the computer lab are set to "The Hunger Site" as the homepage. Students all know to "click to give" whenever they open the browser. Many of the students will take the extra time to click across the top navigation bar to go to all of the listed sites.

Sometimes I open the browser when showing something to students and forget to click to give. You can be sure the students ALWAYS remind me.
