Using Prezi to teach Poetry

by Tara Seale

Prezi is similar to PowerPoint, but so much more. It is like putting an extra shot of espresso in your Starbuck's. The wide canvas, the zooming in and out, and the novelty make it an engaging tool for presenting new information to students.

Lisa Westbrook, a 9th grade English teacher at Bryant High School, is currently using Prezi to do just that. Recently, she created a Prezi to teach her students how to analyze poetry. Click on the image below to view Lisa's prezi.

Your blog is among the most important sites on this industry. Nearly every write-up which you create is gold. Your writing style is eloquent, revitalizing,and fairly interesting.

Thank you r4i - as all teachers across the country feel, I am overwhelmed. I want to share, and I want to do the best job possible for my students. Unfortunately, there are X amount of hours in my day. I am glad whenever I share, it helps another teacher.
