Circle of Viewpoints: Blackout Poetry Step 1: Review the notes about the historical figure on your groups poster. Step 2: Reconsider the poem based on your historical figure's political perspective. Some of your historical figures will be in support of the message of the poem, others will not. Create a new poem using the blackout method that either reconfirms the message of the poem (the revolutionists) or changes the meaning of the poem to meet the orthodox beliefs. Step 3: Box out words on the page that will serve as anchor words for your new poem based on your historical figure's perspective (see my example on the left). These words will function as the start of your poem, although you may not end up using all of them. Step 4: String the words together into a new poem. This may mean you black out the majority of the page. If your poem does not read left to right, top to bottom, you will need to provide a reading track (see example on the right). Step 5: Glue or tape your new poem onto your poster. Provide a brief explanation of the meaning of your poem based on your historical figure's perspective. Do Next | read chapter 7 + 8 in Animal Farm

Writing Conferences Do Now | Theme Description
Each pod should have a piece of white paper and some markers. This poster paper will be developed over the course of the unit, so allow for messiness. Addie will assign each of you a thematic word.
Begin by writing the term in large print somewhere on your poster. Next, define the term. Construct a denotative definition; a dictionary-type definition of term in your own words. If you need to look it up online, do so, but do not copy word for word. Create your own words. Consider the connotative, or social, meaning of the word.
Do Next | Historical Connections Add the power players to your poster based on which characters are listed after your thematic word.
Step 1: Conduct a Wikipedia (yes, I told you to start at Wikipedia) investigation of your historical figure. Track some initial notes on your poster:

Read through chapter 5
“Is it not crystal clear, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. Almost overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that Rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done. Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short reminder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious” (9).
