Poetry sites that will get words flowing!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><em>Submitted by Fiona Beal</em><br />One of the things I love doing with a class is writing poetry. The students come up with the most interesting ideas and words. Playing with words always gives me a thrill. There are so many free interactive sites available that can make the teacher’s task even easier, and the learners experience more memorable.    <br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>1.

If you scroll down on the left you can preview some of the templates with samples. Students fill in the blanks with their own content and click “Create”. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4ZrflI0H6CR25WcqP6VYMRYrFkkrboKDQvfWeSJ39_netZYDKs0DLO_pbWpAl6DKAdq3div__zuBCCVaaWrYDWw8NN3wiBQJCGXR_OXKd_iOwQ-ey8B_jUwmmnjnUd5byoBMRQ5vdfw/s1600-h/ITC3.jpg"><img alt="ITC" border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs5xZgzXsX6C-z34EOvAa-6BPr4hnH9UToPXrbu7pRVYdjJ52xBXHwxeDUGqu3Jpp8EhgzZC910qiiXPhZPkGsA_NpNi5dLc0ANckpGampS6ahlaYzIovt7wWCY1iSqKoAAluPW3CKzzM/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="ITC" width="242" /></a> <br /><br />For example, here is one of their poem outlines: <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpnZzrfsO-rOvxohuAo0Hp8jaX42MgMaFJ68i0x7Cprj-SakPa2eiBEViwwBELJ_lA1is5JgdXlkMeFscXJYkjbwjtY4h4CYtyto8KpCmwvwwsbEhjGtWDiGwx3UWNKd7cWHQgwuQ3ZE/s1600-h/ETTC-sample4.jpg"><img alt="ETTC sample" border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7VX2WspgIg_LRD7FOCuLFtgTbj-0D3FwQuebvWWCTvAuxwWgmWBLwLKSuQQtawoJy8wmYY-M-fP5acP-6mN7P2j6Kl0-xefy6qW-5x7sD1WyWHGfmbf86SHKjxLK0HLpgkP-dQujVAGM/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="ETTC sample" width="241" /></a> <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>2.

It is also a great way to teach the different parts of speech and how they fit into the poem. The students start off by choosing a picture as a background that will suit the mood of the poem. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKpZGwdAZxD6dvlpNUGnwrlQQzNnMcPIQzAJzlCyIHLqAYupNa7YRT1LpOyvYHt_TPpcX5GoR3nVorAMWqjFIwgmUhWYOR08sPy0HjM72w01wQkzGBoHyX7ssl17ZUDU5DGSlOJjBDb8A/s1600-h/piclits-22.jpg"><img alt="piclits (2)" border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPx4qvQRZu2pURY02Abis2tFS4yq8FKyZQ4nuxevMgjwyBovtlTaZ_e6_vyO_thHrTz1IFHaKEYEdtfhEGVFAHp_QPbnW-4y6IVDjF-B5drGOImpq2kyYiYlyey3JpP_1IfYd3zyfhlVw/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="piclits (2)" width="232" /></a><br />  <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQaUvfy3BBY7suEhx4c_mPFWXoUcT7UikLU2rJIbWiCo4egLFj44lsEehftPNoAtIHqiaYPmhkzUBx3TswZvpWicmInl241IHyuiRoOXhpzOrdJydk0BhvA3Bn_FfV-UDROd9X65VcH8/s1600-h/Picture22.png"><img alt="Picture2" border="0" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9Wgdy3wjDwf9FZGFMbV5xi2DFySa6rPD6XCyx6FmaAeWO4ibI8Ck19h7APfo16WN_1qHxc_HLE9-9j85YS35AgyzZKDjUkr6B0SuNHzb7EKDxbZLTvbB-PRSyNEhtUn1Knn26pDNRtc/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Picture2" width="244" /></a> <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>4.
