Piclits

I posted this last school year but I thought it deserved another go this school year.  According to M.T. Christel, "To foster deep student engagement with images and their analysis, students can easily use the PicLit website, which provides a treasure trove of preselected images to examine for visual composition, emotional appeal and narrative potential. "  The site is like a meme generator but the pictures selected do not beg sarcastic comment but rather have high end aesthetic value.  Your students can select a picture and then drag and drop words or for older students select free-style  and type on there own.  The pictures to me, beg poetry.  See some student examples below.
