Stop Motion Illustrated Poetry (and One Short Story)

BetsiePieBaker's YouTube channel, "Some Poetry For You," features stop motion illustrated readings of the poetry (and one short story - "The Gift of the Magi"...English I teachers!) listed below. I had the opportunity to see Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" in action last week, and the students responded really well to the interpretation. They had already read and discussed the sonnet, and they seemed to appreciate the visual representation created by the stop motion illustrations. BetsiePieBaker's current offerings include:
  • "I am Nobody" by Emily Dickinson
  • "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams
  • "To a Friend who Sent Me some Roses" by John Keats
  • "who knows if the moon's" by e.e.cummings
  • "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
  • "Sonnet 73"  by Shakespeare
  • "Discovery" by Elizabeth Keller
  • "In Defense of Seasonal Poetry" by Elizabeth Keller
  • "Shooting Stars" by Sara Henreckson
  • "Holy Sonnet 10: Death, Be Not Proud" by John Donne
  • "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas.
  • "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry
