Book Spine Poetry
How to Create a Book Spine Poem
Step 1: Browse many, many book spines and choose one or two that spark your interest.
Step 2: Use the library catalog to look up titles with specific words or phrases that suit your needs. Find other book spines that compliment your first choice. Gather at least 4-5 additional books.
Step 3: Stack the books in different combinations of spines, swapping the order. Try putting your poem together like a puzzle and explore how changing the order changes the meaning of your poem. If you need a different book, now is the time to swap it out!
Step 4: Snap a photo of your poem using your Chromebook.
Step 5: Share your poem with your teacher by adding it to your class's poetry gallery - look to the right for your class link -->
