Bio-Poems

 **Poetry can be used in the content area classroom! ** 

**Bio-Poems ** allow students to use poetry to reflect on and synthesize what they have learned. They are pretty adaptable and the subject may be a person, place, thing, concept or event.


 * Great Idea: ** Students could research a historical figure and along with this write a bio-poem. You can take it a step further and have your students perform and record their bio-poems. You would then have an oral history collection.

With a little creativity you could adapt bio-poems for a variety of different purposes.
