Diamond Poema

DESCRIPTION
With this project, we suggest you try an unusual form of poetry: from a photograph or a drawing, write a poem that has a diamond shape. One way to let your imagination and your creativity run free, but also following a very detailed model.

Registration Deadline: 15 Oct.

If teacher wants, students can participate even by creating by themselves pages where to type their poemas and add the image.  This can mean greater involvement and responsibility for students. To manage the students in this way look at:  How to participate – Kidspace for Students
