Midterm Week: The Most Boring Week Ever

I know they're necessary... but I really hate midterm week. I rarely have a class. I am merely watching over kids as they take midterms for other subjects. (Although on Tuesday they will take mine...) My plan right now is to use all that time to grade while proctoring. I also want to start planning some new lessons for my poetry unit using the new SMART board in my classroom! I know the government has a website Poetry180. The site offers one poem per school day for high school students in America. I used this site quite a bit when I taught summer school. I'm trying to search for new ideas to get some interactive lessons going. My kids dread poetry; I want to make it better for them. Any ideas?
