![]() When all the groups were finished, we shared the poems with the whole class by projecting them onto the board. On the video they took, you can only see the one stack of whiteboards (not the stack of removed whiteboards) - mine shows the whole process so you can have a better idea of what we did. One student took the video, and one student was reponsible for changing the whiteboards. The video you see is one I took on my iPad, standing behind them while they made a video on their tablet. This group was made up of two 6th grade students. Here is a completed example of one of the poems my students wrote. The poems are written in reverse and thus meaning changes in each. We didn't read the poems out loud on the videos - the students thought it would be more powerful if the video was silent. CLOSE READING LESSON: Mirror, Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse by Marilyn Singer First Read - Recall of Key Ideas and Details (What does the text say) Share the title and author of the text. ![]() Most groups chose to make a video of their poems, but a few groups took individual pictures of each whiteboard (slide) and then put them together into a slideshow. ![]() They used one whiteboard per line, stacked them all up, and then got ready to shoot their movies. ![]() We decided that when the groups were finished writing their poems (and after teacher approval) they would use the whiteboards and the video camera on the tablets to make a whiteboard movie or slideshow of their poems. ![]() We have been piloting the use of 10 tablets in our classroom - Surface 2 tablets, so we wanted to be able to incorporate this technology into our poetry, as well. ![]()
