Today I’ve put together a scaffold for people wishing to experiment and be a little more creative in the publishing of poetry.
The poetry scaffold is a step by step guide to creating a verbal collage about each student. It encourages reflection and experimentation.
My son added a Wordle to his blog based on his blog tags and I made mine by ‘Pasting a heap of text’ into Wordle. We enjoyed playing with this tool and I think your students will also.
Have fun with Wordle

PS Try performing this poem by readng it with a different volume and intonation for each word. Maybe even with a soundtrack behind it of Miles Davis 
Hi Adrian
I’ve used wordle to introduce extended text and film to students. I’ve pasted a key word list and then had the students predict what they think the text is going to be about..other members of my Dept. are now being hooked too….
