Did you know that you can create your own National Poetry Month poster using poster. Here are three different ideas for your classrooms to separate:

• Adobe Express poster templates: You can use traditional images from the Adobe gallery or develop new images using the Generative AI tool.
• Photoshop and Adobe Firefly: some of your more advanced student might want to challenge themselves with the Gen AI in Photoshop or the online generation with Firefly
• Google Slides: have students use the tools in Google Workspace like Drawing or just simply collage the image with shapes and Google Images
• Keynote: there are some many new animation and graphic tools in the latest Keynote update. Challenge your students to create and animate.
• Traditional Magazine Collage: grad a pile of old magazines, paperback books, newspapers and go crazy cutting and pasting to create a student’s vision
• Mixed Media: Challenge students to go another step and use layered paper techniques, paint, markers, and chalk to create a mixed media masterpiece.
