Is there some way to print these lines on some sort of handout where students can cut them up and rearrange them into a new poem? Using the poll results to create a found poem similar to the way you read our original posts as a poem, but rearranged to make several individual poems based the lines we created as a group?
Consider teaching kids to use graphic organizers with a caveat - they can use "as is," "modify" it to suit their own purposes, or totally discard it. (I wish I could think of a cute "reduce, reuse, recycle theme). You could even do a mini lesson on scaffolds (complete with pictures) to show that sometimes you use things and sometimes you don't. I think some learners need "permission" to work differently.
