Magnetic Poetry
Objective: Students will be able to write poetry using the magnetic words
Why: Not only is this a creative exercise, but it forces your brain to use only the words available which involves problem solving and higher level thinking skills.
Supplies: sets of magnetic words, a magnetic white board or other metal surface
How To:
Acquire sets of magnetic words and place them on your magnetic whiteboard or metal surface
Things to Think About:
- You want at least two sets so that there are enough words.
- You can purchase magnetic sheets that go through the printer to create specialized words for your school and/or library
- Words will need to be reused, so poetry will come and go.
- Monitor the board frequently and take pictures of the poems to use in marketing.
- You could encourage your students to take pictures of their poetry and post it to social media using the library’s hashtag.
- April is Poetry Month.
