A New Outlet Blackout poetry has recently become one of the most therapeutic and creative outlets I've found to serve me personally. I was so excited once I started to get the hang of it, I just had to share it with my class! Basically, you are creating a poem that is a short concise thought which expresses emotions and can communicate not only feelings but also be a pretty awesome way to give a summary. Below, the video showcases some of the artful poetry we have created in our anticipation of summer approaching. Using a " porquoi tale "-- a tale which seeks to explain why or how something significant happened like, " how did the tiger get his stripes? " was also the perfect opportunity to teach the significance of the porquoi tale and examine examples of various types from different cultures-- the students were challenged to create a poem expressing an emotion about their upcoming summer vacation.
