Where I'm From Poetry--A Prezi and Handouts
Looking for a dynamic presentation that will guide your students through writing a "Where I'm From" poem? This Prezi is exactly what your classroom needs. Rationale for Using a Prezi: After teaching the “Where I’m From” poem for several years using only a template and a couple of examples, I’ve noticed many students—even high schoolers—fall into one of two camps: either they are too overwhelmed to produce good writing or they are too eager to fill in the blanks of the template to produce good

The Writing Process Prezi, NO PREP!
In all my years teaching English, it has become more and more apparent that students need to be told that writing is a process and each stage is equally important. Otherwise, students will simply draft a piece of text, read it over once if we’re lucky, and call it good. I have created for you a lesson that explicitly teaches students each stage of the writing process...and, because some find the topic exceedingly dull, I’ve given the lesson a horror genre slant to keep students highly engaged.

Poetry Digital Portfolio and Scoring Rubric
This is a favorite student project! Students will take their original poetry and create a digital portfolio on PowerPoint that includes graphics that go along with the poem and music. A scoring rubric for the project is included. Completed portfolios are presented to the class.
***I broke up the poem into separate slides. Each slide should have a stanza or few lines with a single idea so that the graphic matches that idea. Students can add or delete slides if necessary.
