There are some pretty amazing things being done with blackout poetry at the moment. This was inspiration enough to feature blackout poetry in our World Poetry Day displays.Popularised by writer and artist Austin Kleon, blackout poetry comes about by searching for stand-out words in a previously published work and emphasising those words by crossing out the unneeded text with a permanent marker. Crossing it out can mean just that, or it could get quite a bit more creative.
Students and teachers have been having fun this week creating poetry using these techniques and we have been building up a pretty decent display as a result.
