"Bilingual/Bilingüe" by Alma Flor Ada

For Poetry Month this year, I'm featuring a variety of things, including guest posts for new, forthcoming poetry books and mini movies my graduate students created to bring individual poems to life. Here's the first one, a movie for the poem "Bilingual/Bilingüe" by Alma Flor Ada created by Mandy A. (It features the poem in English, but it's also available in Spanish in The Poetry Friday Anthology for Celebrations.) Enjoy!

I love the theme of speaking two languages leads to having twice as much fun! Great pairing of words and pics. Could the students please leave the words of the whole poem on longer so the reader has enough time to read it before the credits appear?

I love the theme of learning two languages leads to having twice as much fun! Good pairing of exciting pics and words! Could the students please leave the words of the whole poem on longer to give the reader time to read the poem before the credits appear?
