Blackout Poetry
Instructions:
Find a newspaper article, a old book page, or a magazine that you feel comfortable repurposing and upcycling. We have a station set up in the eXchange if you'd like some we have prepared for you!
Skim the passage and keep your eye out for that eye-catching word that will guide the theme of your poem.
Go back and circle words or short phrases that might relate to your eye-catching word or phrase. Color in the rest!
Your poem can be made up of single words or phrases. They can be single words or they can be read like a story. It's totally up to you!
Post a picture of your finished poem to our Padlet!
