PREPARATION
- Choose a text for students to use as the source for their poems. The text can be a short story or a longer work of fiction. One piece of text should be something the whole class has read; others can be books students have read in literature circles.
- Make copies or an overhead transparency of the Found Poem Instructions, Model Found/Parallel Poems, and Found & Parallel Poem Checklist.
- Test the Word Mover Student Interactive on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tool and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
