We started our school year having our whole staff create Bio-Poems. It was fun to watch new and veteran teachers scramble over glitter, stickers, and which color construction paper they wanted to use! Several of us shared our poems with the group. The one that was most fun came from one of the ladies in our office. Her answer to : Lover of (2 things) was: Jesus Christ and football! We all agreed she had her priorities in order!
Our teachers took their poems and displayed them in their rooms. By the end of the week when the students came back, the hallways were filled with student Bio-Poems. The displays made quite an impression on our Back to School night.
If you haven't had your Back to School night, parents really like to read what their children have written about themselves. It is a very insightful activity for students, teachers and parents.

The Power Tools for Adolescent Literacy blog allows teachers to share and showcase what they are doing in their classrooms, offers a forum for questions, provides an opportunity for school administrators to share the progression of change as teachers implement the strategies, and lets viewers read posts of how teachers are working to effectively use Power Tools strategies they learned at the workshop.
