Examples of my image poems

Tools to create image poems:

  • Canva (canva.com)
  • Wordswag (find in iTunes or Google Play $)  
  • Instaquote examples (find app in iTunes or Google Play)
  • Waterlogue (iTunes only)

Image poems are awesome for

  • Helping kids understand the power of visuals (that they create AND consume)
  • Expanding their definition of art
  • Identifying key words and concepts–forces them to really analyze what’s most important in their own words
  • Making kids see themselves as “real” writers
