Cut-up Poetry
Would you rather play Scrabble than Monopoly because you love the surprise of creating words from the letter tiles you choose? Magnify that joy and you’ll have the experience of cut-up poetry. All participants receive an assortment of pages from a variety of books that range from poetry to recipes to nonfiction texts on sewing or driving. Instead of choosing letter tiles, students pick words and phrases that speak to them from a page of text. Prompts and guidelines give students enough time to amass enough scraps to create a piece of writing. The juxtaposition available due to the different texts lends a certain nuance of magic to the creativity of the cut-up poem. Students may share their work with the class, but it’s not required.
