1. Create a new Google Docs Drawing.
2. Insert:
---a title for the poem

---a title for the image from the Smithsonian
---the image from the Smithsonian
---a heading (name, date, period, & name of assignment)
---a colored background
3. Open Jing (it is the little yellow sphere on your screen) and highlight your entire Google Drawing.
4. Use Jing to record a video of yourself reading your poem. Use the format:
---This is _your name__. I am going to read __name of your poem___ which is based on __name of image___.
---Read your poem.
5. Save & publish your recording to the web. COPY the URL.
6. In Google Docs, publish your Google Drawing and copy the embed code. It looks like this <ldfaslkdfjs;ldkfj>.
