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. Comments are closed.
