Today I showed them how they could publish their poems using their new Google accounts.  Since this was their first time, I helped them sign in and change their passwords. They created a new document and used the Styles button to write a title and subtitle (their name).  Next they typed their poem and I showed them how to change the font and size of their text and use the Tools button to check their spelling. I also wanted them to know how to use Google Docs for research so we clicked the Research Tools and searched for a picture and a fact about something in their poem. They dragged the picture from the built-in search box to add it to their poem and a citation was automatically created!  Then they rewrote their fact in their own words and clicked the &#8220;Cite&#8221; button to create another automatic citation. Finally I showed them how to publish and share their poems.  I posted all their poem links to a Google Doc that you can explore <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/4thwhitepoems\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. White&#8217;s fourth graders at Davis Elementary have been writing different forms of poetry such as limericks and cinquains.
