Found Poetry

This is one of my favorite projects to do. I have done them for other classes and I had my third grade class do a biography poem the same way (we eveh hot glued on some stuff like race cars and Barbie outfits). This one was done on fairly heavy cardboard using Mod Podge so it holds up pretty well. Mod Podge is great for classroom use because you can go over the whole piece of work and have it dry to a clear slightly glossy finsih.

    Absolutely one of the most creative! I love the scene you have set; it is quite cozy! I need to investigate Mod Podge!

    I love your found poem. It looks so tranquil! Great job creating it. I’m glad to hear that your students enjoyed creating a found poem as well.

    I wish that I had a beautiful tree like that in my bedroom, or that my bedroom was big enough for a gorgeous tree to feel at home in. I love that not only are the words found, but the images are also found. The words and images work together to make the poem.
    Great Job!
