Juneteenth! Blackout Poetry Grab n' Go!

Celebrate Juneteenth by creating your own blackout poetry!

Blackout poetry is a form of poetry where writers take existing texts and erase or "black out" large portions of it, making a poem out of the words that remain. 

Each kit contains instructions and pages to black out. You will need a black or other dark color marker, or be creative and use varied color pencils to make a piece of art!    

 

Get more information, video instructions, and share your poetry on the virtual bullein board below!

NOTE: Kits are first come, first served. Available while supplies last. Distributed from 3:00 - 5:00 ONLY.
