1. Explain the project and introduce poetry. Tell students they will make a poem using random words, and that the poem will not make sense.
2. Have them glance down the book page and circle random words that POP out to them. Tell them to have at least 7 words.
3. after the words are approved they will black out all the other words.
4. Write the poem on a small paper and mount the book page and the poem onto a colored piece of construction paper. I had my students make a stamp and create a frame with it around the paper.
This took 2 days.
5. Plan artwork to go with the poem. I give my students the option of doing a drawing, painting or paper sculpture.

Can you read your poem?
How well does the artwork reflect the poem?
