Blackout Poetry is a great way for students to express their creativity, and since they are not starting from scratch, staring at a blank page, it often feels like a safer way to write poetry. However, blackout poetry is an incredibly inventive and powerful type of creative writing!
You can create digital blackout poetry using:
- PowerPoint
- Google Slides
- Word
- Google Docs
These directions will show you how to create digital blackout poetry!
Or, have your students create blackout poetry by hand. This is a great way to be creative and have fun!
All you need is:
- Photocopied page from any text - non-fiction, fiction, even websites work!
- Markers, colored pencils or paint.
