Today you will create a Glog, at Glogster EDU, of the poem you chose to read and interpret . You can download a public domain image of the poet at Wikimedia Commons. Include the following information on the Glog:
Name of Poet
Country of Origin (i.e. American Poet, English Poet, etc.)
Birth and Death
Type poem if possible, if copyrighted still create a link to the poem
Any unknown or tricky vocabulary and what it means
Over the next several weeks we will be working on a special multidisciplinary project involving Art, English Language Arts, Information Literacy skills and Technology skills. You will be creating a Glog on one particular artist. There are several steps which must be completed before we can begin to assemble the glog.
Ms. Mellman, the art teacher, will introduce you to various artists and their styles.
You will research one particular artist, during library class with Ms. Fuller, gathering information about the artist’s works, life and style. You will also collect images and videos and proper citations.
You will write a paragraph about your artist with Mrs. Shaw.
You will podcast your final paragraph with Ms. Shapiro.
You will create a graphic organizer in the lab detailing all the components of the glog.
Finally, you will assemble the glog in the lab at GlogsterEDU. Ms. Mellman will be in the lab, too, to consult with you about best choices to display your artist’s style.
