Online Project

This document proposes using the website GigglePoetry.com to have 5th grade students practice reading poetry aloud with fluency and expression, rate poems on the site, and write and publish their own original poems. Students would need computers, internet access, and email to implement this lesson. It allows for collaboration, student-centered learning through creating original work, and higher-order thinking like analysis and evaluation. The level of technology implementation is considered a LoTi level 4-5 since students are creating and sharing original work outside the classroom. Internet safety and privacy policies would be followed.
