Poetry Month 2011: Student Book Spine Poems
April is National Poetry Month and we’re celebrating in the most bookish way allowable by law – with book spine poetry. If you try book spine poetry with your students during April, send me the results (scopenotes at gmail dot com) and I will post them here for all to see and enjoy. Click here for some tips on creating your own.

I am working on doing this with some students next week and wanted to take a peek at the samples from your students, but I can’t access the link. It just takes me to iCloud… Can you help? I would love to see them or get some protips! Thanks a bunch!
Sorry about that Joany – the 2012 gallery includes student work, so that might be a good place to check: https://100scopenotes.com/2012/04/02/2012-book-spine-poem-gallery-2/
