I really liked your lesson that you created, as poetry is something I am currently working with my fourth graders right now, ad we are actually going to be introducing and working on Haiku poems next week. I am very excited, as your lesson has now become an inspiration. Thanks!
I like how you are not just having your kids right the poem, but istead infuse the use of pictures, and having them learn how to upload them, great idea. So the link of resources with the tutrials will be helpful, as my students are forever always needy, therefore I would demonstarte how to to do it and this link would be good as a refersher tool. Your lesson plan looks great as you site is very easy to navigate through. You did a great job!
I am still figuring out Google Sites right now- it was a last minute decision to switch my project over to it so I still have a few kinks that I need to work out before I start using it in my classroom. I agree that the links should open in another window- much easier for the user, I need to see if this is an option :).

A few things that I noticed were that there were some spelling errors on your pages, watch out parents will get you on these! Also I suggest making it so that your links open to a new window. So that as the students go through the tutorials they can get back to the original page. Also I noticed that on the bottom of your pages you had a link menu, there were non on the lesson plan page or Q & A page. Also how does the Q&A page work? I tried to add a comment and wasn't sure how. And lastly when I went to the parent page there was no information. Overall I loved your site! The lesson is great and I love how you took it past just writting a poem.
