Thank you for sharing this with fellow teachers...and especially free. I bet you put a LOT of time into creating it. It deserves 4 stars.
April 15, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much :) I appreciate it. This is my favorite way to review because the kids love teaming up! I work with smaller class sizes, but they love grouping in threes and battling through the answers.
April 15, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Thanks! :) That's why I created them and thought if anyone wanted to save the time, go for it! I do have a lot of other material I could share with you if interested. Let me know.

Wonderful prezi! I the video won't load for me, but even without that, this is a great tool for teaching poetry.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Are you connected to the Internet when you present? Also, you have to be able to access YouTube on your presenting computer... for me, I have to put in the override codes for my district so I can access the video through the presentation. Let me know if I can assist you at all with this! :)

Let me know if you need any help. In the Zipped file, I have included a Word document that also has a link to at least present. I hope you can figure out how to present the file offline, because it is nice not to worry about more technologies than necessary. :) Thanks for the purchase!

This is one of my favorite Romeo and Juliet resources I've ever found. It has so much information that I broke it up over 3 class periods, among a few other activities! Thank you, Sarah.

I also downloaded your Prologue and Act 1 Scene 1 crossword. I love them! Keep creating :). Thanks!

If you have this resource before you begin teaching, the students can be aware of what words to dig in to. I put the words up on a word wall and my students really enjoyed doing the crosswords on their free time! Thanks.

Great Halloween-themed poems, and the students loved the prezi. Seller was quick to respond to my question, and was even kind enough to offer tips on where to find more resources. Wonderful seller.

This is the best way to spend a few class periods on thematic poetry! There are different styles in each poem selected, not to mention the technology usage is great. Thanks for the resource!

Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Thanks! I created this for my poetry unit. Now, my students are all very excited about Prezis and creating one of their own. It's not just for the content after all! :)

What a wonderful way to start the unit! I never even heard of Prezi, and now I have a sample in my hands to play with and learn from. Thank you so much!

Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
You are so very welcome. On the prezi.com website there are also tutorial videos if you click the "Learn" tab. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to share what I know! :)

Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Great! Let me know how everything works or if you'd change anything! If so, I can always adapt the worksheet. I find it useful just to gauge comprehension and to get kids to dig into the materials. Thanks!

I used this prezi for 2 full weeks! It gave me all the information for complete lessons, as well as assignments for my 10th grade classes!

The test was differentiated and gave students who work well with certain types of questions (ie multiple choice versus short answer) the opportunity to show their strengths. It was a thorough sample and assessment of the play.
Thanks!

walkerm1053 re: Poetry PREZI Presentation and Samples
I do have Microsoft Word, but when I opened that file it was like it was encrypted because the information on the page was unclear.
April 29, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Okay, well why don't you send me your email address and the title of Poetry Prezi presentation, and I'll send it to you that way. For some reason, the prezis are hit or miss with buyers. Many can purchase and present in the same 5 minutes, but others can't view the material. Sorry for the inconvenience! We will get it taken care of! :)
April 30, 2013
walkerm1053 re: Poetry PREZI Presentation and Samples
I am having trouble downloading this on my desktop and laptop as well! Please help!
April 29, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Do you have Microsoft Word?? I also attached, in the zip file, a word document. This document has a link to the presentation. This way, if you can't open up the prezi on your computer, you can open it via the Internet. Do you see the document I speak of?
I'll do my best to respond ASAP so you are able to see the presentation!

what is the purpose of the map "for kids" write after the camp question? I didn't really make any connections there. Thanks!
April 25, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Did you download the updated presentation I added yesterday? I changed the format and the content quite a bit. The "Map for Kids" was taken out and replaced with a more mature, high school-aged map. Let me know if you would like the upgrade because I had TpT send out an email to all buyers, but I'd send it to you. It's much better! Thanks!

Alyssa Gervelis (TpT Seller) re: Poetry PREZI Presentation and Samples
Because it is a prezi presentation, I am having trouble opening up the downloaded file on my computer. Ever have others have this problem as well?
February 24, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Yes, Alyssa, I have had other issues with this download. For some reason, it appears that only about 1/2 of the people who purchase are able to open it directly with no other contact. If you are willing to send me your email address, I can email you the files/link where you can receive the prezi! :) Sorry about that!
February 25, 2013
Amber De Petro (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the help. I have used prezi, though I didn't realize it could be saved in video format, rather, I assumed it was only hosted online. I have a pc and an iPad. Neither seem to be fond of the file type. I've downloaded it no problem on the pc, but cannot play the file. If you want to email me, my address is depeam@pasdwi.org. I will check on those resources as well. Thanks again!
February 13, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
Just checking in, did everything end up working for you through the email file?
Thanks again! And sorry for the tricky file type :)

Amber De Petro (TpT Seller) re: Credible Internet Sources Prezi Presentation
Hi, What media player do you suggest to use with this? Windows Media Player, Real, and Quick Time all seem to struggle with being able to open your files.
Thanks!
Thanks!
February 13, 2013
Sarah Thursby (TpT Seller)
What type of computer do you use? Mac or PC? I use a mac, but the prezi should open in it's own program. If you can't make it work, you could shoot me your email and I can't send you the folder that I use the program out of! :) I'll stay sharp to help you ASAP!
PLUS, you should take a peak at prezi.com for free resources!

Hi Sarah. Thanks for the quick response. It's not allowing me to open any of the files, but I think it may be a computer issue - I've opened Prezis on my home computer (a Mac) and haven't had any issues with it. Would you mind sending me the link so I can try that? Thanks so much!

The file that has a blue circle/swirl is the actual file. The rest is the attachment files for the prezi. Does this help you? If not, please let me know and I will see what else I can tell you. I could always send you the link and let you download it.

Could you send me the intro Prezi and any other free docs for Touching Spirit Bear, Handbook for Boys, and People of Sparks, please? Send any resources, if you are so inclined and generous (common core is kicking our butts in Maryland!) to cdward@ccps.org

Hi there. I'm not that familiar with Prezi, so I was just wondering what software is needed to use the presentation you created. Do you have to be on Prezi or download software? Thanks for any info you can give me.

Why don't you send me your email address. For some reason, some of the teachers who download this can open in. Others, however, have to get the link and download it for themselves. I want to try and email you the file. If that doesn't work, I can send you the private link and you can download it!
Sorry for the inconvenience,

Hi! I tried emailing you but had the email returned with a failure. I copy and pasted your email address. Is it correct?
Mine is sthursby@mib.k12.mn.us
Are you operating with a Mac or a PC? I created this presentation on prezi.com and exported it to my computer for sale. I will try sending it to your email! Let me know if it continues to be stubborn and I will figure out a solution.
Thank you,
