April was National Poetry month, and this year the library hosted our first-ever "Blackout Poetry" contest! Blackout poems are created by taking a piece of text and blacking-out words so the poems are left. Here's one I did as an example: The page is from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I had a copy come in that all the pages were falling out... so I sacrificed it for this project. I sent the directions out to our ELA department, including this awesome resource from Scholastic. The student submissions were amazing! The winner was Brianna N., for her poem below, entitled The Mirror. Here are some of the other student submissions! I am so proud of my students and their creativity.
