During summer school, a highly energetic English teacher, a library intern and I worked together on a poetry project. Students composed a poem, determined the theme or topic, found three published selections that reflected that theme, and created a PowerPoint. For the first slide, students created a Wordle that expressed their personalities, thoughts, aspirations, etc. The results were colorful and introspective, and the students enjoyed learning a new way to express themselves creatively. I enjoyed their enjoyment and tried one for myself using one of my favorite quotations by George Eliot: It's never too late to be who you might have been.
