Verse by Verse

Verse by Verse (a project from Google) is an experimental AI-powered muse that helps you compose poetry inspired by classic American poets.

Each poet will try to offer suggestions that they think would best continue a poem in the style of that given poet. As such, try working with different poets to see whose style best meshes with your own.  Select the poets who inspire you and write your own first line of a poem.

Poems can be downloaded as images.

Quill

Quill, a nonprofit organization, has adapted research-based writing instruction into a free, open source digital platform. All of their content is free to use for students and teachers.

Their activities help students develop their sentence construction and grammar skills and are designed as supplemental writing exercises that students complete over short, 10 to 15 minute sessions at the beginning or end of a class period.

Quill offers prompts and exercises and delivers instant feedback to help students write, revise, and revise again until they are able to produce succinct, powerful sentences.
