This lesson will examine how symbolism functions in t

Reading Poetry: Fireflies & Subtext

Created by

TeachThought

This handout offers an easy-to-understand analogy for reading poetry--catching fireflies. It also functions as an excellent introduction of the concept of "subtext," and the difference between it and text-level meaning. It includes an example from Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!", and an allusion to W.C. Williams' "So Much Depends." The big idea behind the analogy is to disarm student anxiety of poetry reading, and introduce them to the thrill of the hunt.

Art Room Creations by Mrs Lloyd

What is Blackout Poetry? Why have students create Blackout Poetry?A blackout poem is when a poet takes a marker (usually black marker) to already established text--like in a newspaper--and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. The key thing with a blackout poem is that the text AND redacted text form a sort of visual poem. What is Blackout Poetry?Why have students create Blackout Poetry?Blackout poetry is a creative and expressive way to integrate ELA and writing with the Visual Arts!
