Education Goal of “All students will develop career management competencies through an exploration of personal change and growth” and could be adapted to meet various Career Education outcomes.

(This would make a great portfolio entry! As the teacher, you could help students explore some tech tools and they could bring their poem to life by reciting it and connecting to the personal meaning behind it. Possible tools: chatterpix, fotobabble, etc.)
