ReadWriteThink’s  mobile apps for poetry can be used to write different kinds of poems such as acrostic, diamante, haiku and theme. They can be really helpful for children and beginner level adult students as they can create their poems very easily with the given words.  My favorite app is Word Mover.

About the Siteenglish-with-jennifer-blog

Welcome to my blog for English language teachers! My focus here is on methodology, strategies, and classroom activities. I offer ideas with the hope to facilitate a positive teaching experience for you and a successful learning outcome for your students. If even to a small degree I am able to encourage creativity, promote reflection, deepen your passion for teaching, and facilitate your students’ learning, then I will be extremely pleased.

We are fortunate to teach at this time, when online resources for our profession are plentiful, but in reality there is very little time to explore and examine them all. That said, I am genuinely appreciative every time a teacher visits my blog, and I thank you for your support of my efforts. I will do my best to offer ideas that have relevance, value, and immediate application to your teaching.

Lastly I express sincere gratitude to Pearson for making this blog possible. – Jennifer
