After writing the last post and considering haikus, I found HAIKUS ON ZOMBIES! Yes. Amazing. Here are a few examples:
I hunger for your
delicious cerebellum.
Where's the ice cream scoop?
The vegan zombie
cares not for sweet grey matter
they cry out for graaaaaaaaiiiiinnnnnns!
Then I remembered composing poetry on my fridge with a set of these:
I wondered if there was a version of these online that students could use to compose their own poems and I was RIGHT!
You can visit MagneticPoetry.com which allows you to play with the different sets. From there you can submit a poem or save your own. The only drawback is there are some less appropriate sets online that I would avoid for the school setting. If you could limit your students to particular sets that would be great. Or you could use this on a smart board to scaffold poem construction.
Regardless, I thought this was a fascinating idea and could be used in the ELA classroom. Enjoy!
