You should choose a poem of your creation that you would like to share and present on Heathcote’s Virtual Art and Poetry Festival. Once you have chosen a poem, you are to create a “Google Drawing” in your “Writing Folder” on your drive. You can insert pictures, drawings and other creative and colorful options that relate to the poem’s meaning. Most importantly, your writing MUST be readable – meaning color and font choice should be carefully chosen. This assignment is due Friday April 24th. Poems will be then inserted onto your Padlets that are assigned to our class by Tuesday April 28th. I will give you the Padlet link on Friday.

SMART FACT
The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when a United States senator from Wisconsin organized a national demonstration to raise awareness about environmental issues. Rallies took place across the country and, by the end of the year, the U.S. government had created the Environmental Protection Agency. By 1990, Earth Day was an event celebrated by more than 140 countries around the globe. Click on this National Geographic link to learn how you can help to make a difference.
