Test your skills at blackout poetry!
Do you have any old books around that are not intact? You can reuse the old pages to create poetry! Check out the directions below for ideas.
STEP 1: While scanning different pages, look for anchor words. These are words that stand out to you and might hold a lot of meaning.
STEP 2: Once you have found an anchor word, read the entire page. In pencil, circle any other words that mean something to you or to your anchor word. Try to spread these choices throughout the page.
STEP 3: Using a separate sheet of paper, list all of your words in order. You have a choice to keep them in this order, or to mix it up later.
STEP 4: Select different words (writing down the new order if you messed it up) to create lines of a poem. Poetry can take any form that you would like. You can have multiple lines, or one long run-on thought. Whatever speaks to you!
STEP 5: Circling the words in marker, create a flow for the lines to be read by creating connections. This is where you can add extra designs and be creative!
Check out this example before you start brainstorming. Have fun!
