This week we made blackout poetry.
Blackout Poetry is when you take a (printed out) page from your favourite book (or a random book) and make a story from the words! We used WW2 novels to link with our topic.
How you do this type of poetry is, go along the lines choosing the words that most stand out to you. Then you eliminate words slowly forming it into a creative poem (it could be about anything you like).
This was a fun activity to help us create poems, help us use our imaginations and make us think very carefully about vocabulary.
We then decorated them anyway we wanted. We had a variety of artwork on the poems including: machines, planets, emojis and spiders!
