Thanks to Mrs. Sanders and her HS Art students for helping the 8th graders create artwork on their blackout poetry that embodies the mood of their poems. Students chose pages from Anne Frank’s Diary, Night, or The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, books that go along with our Holocaust unit, to reuse the words and create their own unique poetry. The poetry truly reflected each student and the creativity of their artwork was impressive! There are some artistic 8th graders this year!!

Wonderfully done! I've always wanted to do this activity with the kids - but have never seen the artwork added before. Very emotional poems. Great job everyone!

These are awesome. If you send them to me, I'll have the print shop bind them into a book!

I love this activity. Tasha, let's talk sometime on how I used this to also emphasize author's purpose with word choice, connotation, tone. This can go nine different directions and get more bang for your buck.
