| Our first venture into blackout poetry was pretty fun. I introduced the concept by showing a completed product, then demonstrating the process before turning the class loose on their own pages. I took pages from book that was falling apart and passed one to each student. Students read through the page to find words that stood out to them. Once a word was found, I had them try to find other words on the page to make a sentence or sentences that made sense. Blacking out the rest of the page, the poetry was all that was left. The class found this activity somewhat relaxing and challenging at the same time. The activity was all related to George Washington's spies, and one particular method of passing messages by means of a "mask". |  |
