    This is all new to me, so was very interesting to read. Robert Frost's poem 'Stopping By Woods On a Snowy Evening' was one of the first poems that I had to recite at school. I loved it then and I enjoyed your recital. Thank you for a most enjoyable read.

    love your intro pic! this is terrific. I've lensrolled it with my lens on kids poems. I'd also like to feature this lens in my Education in the Technology Age Headquarters group lens, if it's OK with you.

    That sounds great. I spent some time perusing that lens -- lots of good resources.

    We don't do a lot with memorizing or even performing poetry, but we should. I know that my daughter would LOVE blabberize. I'll have to make this a fun poetry lesson soon.

    Kim, glad you liked it. That particular example was actually Stupeflix -- though I do use Animoto more often.

    This is fascinating and I loved listening to your example with Animoto. Right up my alley since I have a poetry/photography project going with a friend. 5*

    I think it is so important for children to learn to recite poetry and Multimedia Poetry Performances is a wonderful way to accomplish this. Children today respond naturally to anything having to do with the Internet so it is logical that they would respond positive to reciting using your ideas and suggestions. I really enjoyed this lens and learning more about Poetry meeting Technology.

    I always learn so much on your lenses Karen! I don't know if it's a cultural difference but I love how progressive your way of teaching is. I love this technique, it's a great way to merge the art of poetry with technology (which I think will grab kids' attention better compared to the methods of old). Forwarding this to my mom-friends and, oh, left a *blessing* too.
