Arbor One-Line Poetry Presentation

Create a poem presentation where each word is illustrated and the previous word trails from the previous slide.

Theme: Arbor day (trees)

Write a one line poem about trees, try to use unique words in an descriptive and illustrative way.
Try to write your poem to have a deeper meaning.

To get started first write the poem on a slide in OpenOffice Impress.

Thesaurus - use this to help learn and use unique words

Examples of one lined poems.

Then pull the words apart into various slides where there is only TWO words on each slide.
Broken up in a way that shows what the last word was, and the next word.

example:


these are some words


these are  |  are some  |  some words

Why do it this way?
Because, it allows you to design two words on a slide to help draw out different and or deeper meanings to your poem. Also with poetry you are allowed to break the typical writing rules and this can be a creative outlet to expand your understanding of how words put together can communicate.

Once the words are in place, aligned with the slides. THEN go find pictures to illustrate the words.


Insert > Picture > From File
Right click on the picture > Arrange > Send to Back

If some words don't make sense to illustrate by themselves just put a picture that illustrates the overall theme of the poem which is about trees.

TO FINISH
copy the presentation file to the shared folder > arbor poems

In the comments section feel free to comment and explain what you think my poem means. (Use Name / URL, ignore the url, just put your name)
