Surprised I didnt find this gem until my 20th year teaching (I buy and read lots of instructional materials); but it wasnt until I beefed up my own (personal) writing that I stumbled on to this creative way to use text. LOVE this writing form and so did my HS students last spring! Check out A. Kleons website and google blackout poetry for SO many creative ideas... Highly recommend! *P.S. ~ We dont get to use this resource until the spring; after all of the standardized testing is completed; it; along with book groups; is a fun way to wrap up a school year.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. addictive poetryBy Kindle CustomerThis charming book of poems "found" among the words of newspaper articles; is amazingly addictive! I love to pick it up and read a couple of the poems at random.The author has taken a marker and blacked-out all the words he doesnt want-so the poem meanders all over the page. Sometimes punctuation marks are separated from the rest of the sentence. Its pretty easy to follow the thread;however; as he works from top to bottom. This peculiar format has its own appeal and contributes to the feeling of the poem. Youll want to try writing one this way; yourself!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The book as a lot of great ideas on how to teach this type of "creative writing" with upper middle school and high school students. I used this book in conjunction with some online lessons that I found that use this type of poetry creation. While this book gives great ideas; it should be known that it does not explicitly give you lesson plans; but rather a plethora of ideas on how to build your own plans.
