They are so simple ...
Then select a theme.
I really like that they have quite a few to choose from, each folder has between 5 to 8 shapes.
Next, a brainstorming page is provided.
Quick tip - The words you type in here will show up on the next page, but you can't click to add them to the actual poem. The students will have to retype anything they add here. You may want to do your brainstorming on sticky notes if you're limited on time.
Your brainstorm words show up on the left hand side of the screen, and you can also type the title on the side. Then you'll click the text box inside of the shape to type your poem. When you are done click Finish, or take a screen shot of your poem in color.
From this last page you can print a black and white version, save or share your poem. You could save a PDF version to Dropbox or Google Drive, then add color or create a poetry book on your iPad!
What will you create with Theme Poems?
