Glogster is a great tool and fun to use. It allowed me to gather several poets in one spot for a live reading. Of course, this isn't really possible but after a little searching on YouTube I was able to find three of the most important poets of the San Francisco Renaissance reading their works and put them together on Glogster.
This Glog will be posted to the class blog a day or two before a unit on the Beat Movement begins and the students will view it before coming to class. Upon arriving in class students will be asked to share their thoughts and impressions, so far of the Beat poets. Students will have copies of one or more of the poems and the poems will be read aloud as a group. Then students will have a chance to read the same poems silently. There will be a discussion of the difference between hearing a poem and reading a poem. The importance of live reading for the Beats will be discussed and the role it played in the Beat Movement and the San Francisco Renaissance.
