Assignment April 8th

Good Morning!

Since April is poetry month, I want to continue to push you as a writer of poetry.  Therefore, you are going to make a blackout poem.


Steps to making a blackout poem:

• 1.) Find a page in your current book that you absolutely love.  
• 2.) Take your book to Mrs. Nabors to make a copy of that page.

• 3.) Circle/Box the MOST important words or phrases on that page.

• 4.) Blackout all of the other words.  Your circled words should stand out!
• 5.) Start a new blog post.  The name of your post will be Blackout poem.  
• 6.) You will type the words that you have left into a free verse poem!

My poem is here if you want to read it!

I can not wait to read what your poems!!!



When you finish your poem, comment on 3 other blogs.  Be sure to use kind and respectful words!

When you finish your poem, you may write other poems to post.  I saw many of you did not finish last week's assignment.  You may click here to go back to that assignment post.

Enjoy your poetry writing time this morning!
