Writing a Poem a Different Way

Room 17 students had to create a 'found' poem late last term and  the criteria were clearly set out for them. They just had to read the text on the page and then seek out words that would create a message that flowed down the page.

Asking students to create a poem without the need to make it rhyme and the words were already on the page, meant that there was  a lot less pressure to 'write'. 

The results were an amazing array of messages that were fun to read and listen to as you can see when you read down this poem.
