TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley B. says, "My students loved this activity! We spent the week prior reading American poets, and they were tired of "normal, boring" poetry. I decided they needed a break and to create some of their own! They had a blast creating new stories from already published poetry! This was a great resource."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cristina C. says, "I love Blackout Poetry and this resource is fantastic. I especially loved the powerpoint slides that guides students to create their poem. Thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brea B. says, "I am always amazed at how creative students become when I do black-out poetry with them. They did not disappoint this time around, either. I gave them texts that we had already studied in class so that they were familiar with them and had schema. Such a fun thing to do with students!"
