NEARPOD poetry!
Poetry is challenging for both English native speakers and ELL's alike. Learn Zillion produces great instructional videos that help assist students in understanding and interpreting poems. With my ELL's, we first used looked at different images described in various pieces, illustrating the poems with google translate and google images when necessary. Following that, we looked at theme and tone to hypothesize guesses as to what lesson or message the author was trying to convey. Then we learned how to mark and analyze rhyme scheme and how that impacted the messages within the poems. Finally, the students created their own pieces and learned how to read with expression and add tone. The videos are available within the Nearpod app, that pushes the content out to the student's iPad. This app allows the students to respond to the questions and videos, while the teacher collects their responses in a spreadsheet.
To culminate our poetry unit, I had the students narrate their pieces. Next, they saved Google images to display on the different stanzas. Finally we layered the video of their narration and their images into the Green Screen by Do Ink app. Click on the examples below.
