This blog has the popular magnetic poetry loaded with the actual words of master poets themselves. Rearrange Walt Whitman's "O Pioneers!" to make a new poem. Or rearrange Shakespeare to make a new sonnet. The magnet poetry game works with interactive white boards (Smart Boards or Promethean), so it can be a classroom teaching tool. Rearrange poems to sound brilliant or just practice making simple sentences.

Gutenberg and Librivox For Teachers
Gutenberg and Librivox are two essential tools for teachers. What are they? Gutenberg is the largest (that I know of) database of public domain texts. They have poetry from all over the world, free, and in multiple digital formats. It is easy to find a poem to copy and print. It is also easy to compile poems into a textbook or coursepack. What's even better is that many of the texts on Gutenberg have linked audio so you can listen as you read through Librivox.
