Blackout Poetry with Grades 4 and 5

Have you ever heard of blackout poetry? It is a form of "found" poetry, where you select words from a written text to create something new. To celebrate National Poetry Month, students in 4th and 5th grade went through discarded library books to choose words and then added images to illustrate them. Finally, they gave credit to their sources. 

I've posted some of their creations as images below; you can see more by opening these Google Slide links:
