Below are some incredible websites to help you create your original artwork for the poetry project.
http://bomomo.com – create abstract art online. Can download, and then add text in MS Word.
http://www.wordle.net – generate “word clouds” from text you provide. Since it doesn’t allow downloads, do a screen capture (print screen), and paste the image in MS Word.
http://www.dreezle.com – very similar to MS Paint.
http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler – Amazing tool which creates an artistic version of your scribbled drawing.

Dear Students,
Hope you’re enjoying the spring weather and relaxing over the break. However, with just a few days left, please be sure to carve out some time for SAT prep (if you haven’t done so already). I know it’s difficult to think about studying when you’re on vacation, but I promise a little practice now will pay off in the long run. Good luck!
