Extra credit

For an extra credit project in our new poetry unit, I’d like to offer the following:

 

Students use the text of a paragraph from Holes to create a “found” poem.  This can be done most easily by going to the ReadWriteThink website, downloading the flash player required, creating the poem by following directions, and either copying by hand or printing the poem.  A brief demonstration of this was given in class.

 

Here is the link:

Have fun!
