The Dream Flag Project

Connecting Dream Flags

SHARING DREAMS ON-LINE
 

One way to share poems both within your school community and with Dream Flag schools everywhere is to post the pomes in our Gallery of Poems on the Dream Flags web site. This is also a great place to have students read and think about the poems from other participating schools. It includes links for sending email back to the schools.
(One middle school class used a comparison assignment to help students read, think about, and compare Dream Flag Poems. See attached sheet.)

To publish to poems, they need to be typed and mailed as attachment to  dreamflags@agnesirwin.org.
Here are some details to remember:

  1. Please list the author's first name and last initial.  We don't publish student last names on the site.
  2. If you get them to us by third week in March, we can have them up on the site by April 1, the beginning of National Poetry Month, and the time when we plan to be connecting our Dream Flags in different ways. You can send them any time after that as well, and they'll be put up as soon as possible.
  3. Be sure to include the name of your school and the grade(s) of the students who wrote the poems.
  4. You don't need to send all of the poems. Samples are be fine.
  5. It is best to email a Microsoft Word document attachment with the poems on it. We can deal with other formats if Word is not available.
  6. If you'd like to send any pictures of the students or of their flags along with the poems, we'll put them in as well, and it's a great addition.

If you have questions about how to do this, please email dreamflags@agnesirwin.org.7
