WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY: 

♥ A wonderful activity. I know that my 8th grade students are really going to tune into this activity. We are going to display texting poems in the hallway! 

♥ A unique and fun way to involve students and encourage them to try poetry! 

♥ Although I won't be using this for a few months, I'm already looking forward to having my students create text poetry. Thanks for making such a relevant resource!
