Blackout Poetry

How does it work?

• Grab a page of words from the bucket!

• Lightly circle of underline words that interest you.

• When you have chosen words that fit together circle or box those words with a marker.

• Blackout every other line on the page, or use the rest of the page to create a drawing to emphasize the words of your poem.
