Electricity Generation Slam Poetry Project {Editable}
This FULLY EDITABLE project has become an exciting addition to my course. Students get to research a method of energy generation (wind, solar, tidal, hydro, coal, geothermal, biomass or nuclear) and then convert their research into a rhyming slam poem that they perform in front of the class (see below for student sample). As a fun little thing for my students….I made the instructions for this project in the form of a rhyming slam poem itself!….check out the preview to see it.
