Blackout Poetry
Blackout poetry focuses on rearranging words to create a different meaning. Also known as newspaper blackout poetry, the author uses a permanent marker to cross out or eliminate whatever words or images he sees as unnecessary or irrelevant to the effect he's seeking to create. The central idea is to devise a completely new text from previously published words and images, which the reader is free to interpret as he wishes.
We originally found the idea from Austin Kleon who is the New York Times bestselling author of three illustrated books, and is the author of one which is a collection of poetry made by redacting words from newspaper articles with a permanent marker.
Students were able to pick their own article and then create a blackout poem from it, this week students will present their poems to the class.
