My Project

Black sharpies will help students engage with the text, Night by Elie Wiesel. Students will create Black Out Poetry pieces using Wiesel's own words, and the sharpies are needed to black out words on the text to create a new poem.

Students will use the sharpies to create their own art and poetry.

The poems will focus on the duality of human nature with a specific focus on the power of hope and fear in the human spirit.

Please help my students become creative and empathetic poems with these supplies!
