In the vein of idea number 3, I've recorded some favorite poems. For students, I'll ask them to include background as well as a short explanation of why they chose the poem(s) they did. The podcast I've created is two Robert Frost poems that remind me of my grandmother. She was an English and Drama teacher (as am I) and was a huge inspiration for me coming into the teaching profession. "The Road Not Taken" was one of her favorites and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" was in the bulletin for her funeral--"And miles to go before I sleep" seemed to remind much of the family of her character. The music in the background is a hymn tune that was one of her favorites.
