Spotlight Poetry

I'm a total fan of Blackout Poetry, but for the more creative mindset I'm going to give this a shot this summer.

their silent warning seized
her heart weakened and swayed
her blackness ran wildly away
her light emerged


You could add an extra layer to this craft to make it fit this year's theme. Try using a discarded sports book. Or maybe an old health textbook. Mental Note: Comb through my bookshelves and look for old school textbooks....





Geeky Steps

Supplies
Pages from a discarded or damaged book
Pens, Markers, Colored Pencils
A Pencil with a good eraser

Step 1
Find your words and light mark them




Step 2
Lightly draw your pattern


Step 3
Draw your border (if you want one)




Step 4
Mark your words (circle them, box them, something) so you don't accidentally color them in.


Step 5
Fill in your pattern.


Note: Yes this is a copy of "The Burning Bridge" by John Flanagan, but fret not it was a used copy that I bought years ago. I just opened it up a few months back to find out it started on page 43 . . . *sigh*
