During period 7, please complete the following poetry prompt. Create a poem. If you finish early, please continue to work on previous drafts of your work and prepare your writing for your workshop during period 8.
PROMPT: Poetry can be found almost anywhere, if you know where to look. The tradition of "finding" poetry in the common objects and unlikely places is often referred to, appropriately, as FOUND POETRY.
A common (and fun) type of found poetry is the blackout poem.
Take a few minutes to look at this site: Blackout Poetry. Read a few as models for your own work. Now let's try it ourselves.
When instructed, please select a passage (handout in the front of the room) and using a black/dark pen, black out any words you wish, leaving certain words that will, when finished, create a poem from the text you selected. After blacking out your poetry, please retype what you have left into a poem draft. Label this exercise: "Blackout poem, draft 1" for example.
Period 8: continue your workshops. Gather in your workshop group and use the time to read, respond, and conduct a workshop with your partners. See previous posts and materials for details on how to conduct a workshop.
HOMEWORK: Please read Cornelius Eady's poetry. On the forum, please respond to the question there for homework. This assignment is due by 11:59 Tuesday, Feb. 12.
