Bio-poem

Went to a great one day seminar on guiding our students through the research process this week. Ross Todd a Professor at Rutgers University delivered three workshops with the message to avoid mediocity in what we do in the classroom and library. Challenge our students to create answers NOT make answers. One little idea that I loved was the Biopoem. Instead of the find out about... scenario students have to use their research to write a biopoem. Fantastic idea. To see a sample of how to write a Biopoem have a look at this website http://www.readwritethink.org/lesson_images/lesson398/biopoem.pdf

How much better than the old Who What When How Why scenario
