Anyone headed into a poetry unit? Here is a site you might want to take a look at. http://www.favoritepoem.org/ On this site people quote their favorite poems, then explain why that poem is their favorite. Simple, yet brilliant.
It could be a springboard into a classroom project where students memorize a poem and say why they like it, just like in the videos. It would be really neat if the poems could be posted on a classroom website so that students could look at them whenever they want. Of course all the trimmings could still be included. Free verse, rhyme, syllables, etc. But it could all, or mostly, be done in the context of the poem they choose for their video.
