Pipe Phones

I wanted my students to listen to the poem we were looking at today so I borrowed the pipe phones from Elementary and asked them to read the poems into them.  They absolutely loved this "low-tech" device and it met the purpose beautifully or reading the poem to themselves without being unbearably noisy or conscious of each other reading.  Some asked to keep it!
We then randomly formed groups of 4 and talked through the poem before coming back together as a large group and sharing different thoughts and ideas while one of the student recorded what we said on a document projected on the screen.
A good lesson.
