Ms. Kreul’s Class Blog

4K has been composing poetry using the poetry templates on the wonderful web site ETTC’s Instant Poetry Forms.

After experimenting with the many different forms, students chose one to complete on the online form. Next they copied and pasted the poems into Open Office Writer documents. Then they saved the documents to the server and printed copies to use to practice for podcasting.

After several days of practice, students recorded their podcasts using Audacity on the teacher’s iBook. The teacher saved the .aup files as .mp3 files and added the podcasts to the class blog.

Elle’s poem is titled “Excellent Birthday”

Hannah’s poem is titled “Me and My Shadow”

Tommy’s poem is titled “I Am”

Dylan’s poem is titled “Dylan’s Ice Cream Store”

Annie’s poem is titled “Now I Am a Kid”
