FREE VERSE PROJECT

The Academy of American Poets has a fantastic database of poetry-inspired photography called the Free Verse Project.  You can access the photos on the academy's website, or check out the "Free Verse" group on Flickr.  This would be a wonderful way for students to find poems that they may enjoy.  This year, I'm thinking about having students participate in the project by bringing in their own poetry-inspired photography and posting it in a highly-visible location at school in celebration of National Poetry Month (April).  Of course, students' photos would also make a wonderful addition to a classroom webpage.  

Note: While visiting the Academy of American Poet's homepage, check out their available lesson plans, searchable database of poetry and poets, and their audio recordings.  Teachers can also request a free copy of the National Poetry Month poster, and find NPM activities for their classroom and community.

Update:  As of March 2011, my students are currently working on their own Free Verse Project.  Photos will continue to filter in until the April 8, 2011 deadline.  http://pilgreenenglish.weebly.com/free-verse-project.html
 
Below, I'm embedding the handout that I distributed to my students.  If you would like a copy as a Publisher file that you can edit and customize, please send me an e-mail.
