Ho Ho Poetry
In this lesson, students read about the sights and sounds of a Las Vegas Christmas. They then use words and phrases taken from articles in today?s New York Times to create holiday-themed ?found poems. Students will be evaluated based on their responses to the opening exercise, participation in class discussion, composition and presentation of holiday-themed found poems, and creation of collages to illustrate their poems.
