Haiku Flickr

This week for our COETAIL course at ISB, we were asked to use an image from Creative Commons to illustrate how visual imagery can support curricular content.

In my high school English 10 class, we are studying poetry. My students were asked to create a minimum of three haiku poems that represented one small moment in nature. After they wrote their poems, students had to find an image to accompany each poem on Flickr using Creative Commons. The results were fantastic and it helped spark a great conversation about cite sources and using the correct image to illustrate their ideas.
