Create a found poem.... we used a picture in class... you may use an interesting newspaper article of about 10 to 20 sentences:
An invitation to write a "found poem"
1. First arrange the text in lines that follow a natural rhythm pattern of phrases or clauses…. sense where they begin and end. Reserve important words for the beginning or the endings of lines.
2. Use white space to separate ideas you want to emphasize.
3. Group you lines in stanzas which indicate groupings of ideas you want the reader to follow.
4. Condense the writing. All poetry is condensed ideas. Get rid of those words which you don’t need in order to express your ideas… think in terms of creating images.
5. Capitalize the beginning of those words that begin lines or that begin important thoughts.
