I loved this project and I definitely want to do it again next year with a few changes of course ; ) The biggest change that I would make is to provide more time for conferencing and editing with my students. This time, I was a little pinched for time and was unable to develop the quality of work that I would have liked. I loved seeing the different ways that members in my group developed scaffolds for their students to use. I think that in the future I will model more than one Ipoem for my class so that they can really understand how to include information in their poems by asking questions to bring out more details.

I agree with you! I want so much more time with my kids but I found this is a consuming project and it really takes a lot out of you!
Turned out neat though
