Found Poems

So, apparently my favorite mode of content things are poems. I think that's because I've always loved poetry - and I remember keeping a poetry journal when I was little...especially fourth grade for some reason. Anyway.

These are really good to use with a primary source. Today K and I worked on the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. You read the document and select 50 words, and then create a poem from that.

Here is ours.

Assisting Security
Communist threat to freedom
Political desires in Asia
Necessary force against attackers
President
Obligations to promote peace
Concurrent ambitions in Vietnam
Security
National defense
Deliberate Resolution
To prevent territorial agression


Pretty cool, huh? I think so :)
