ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Text - We Beat The Street

★ Words Defined (by chapter)

★ Print and Digital

★ 10 pages / 312 words student-friendly defined

This resource includes:

★ 10 pages of 312 Defined Words

*******************************

We Beat the Street Vocabulary Words were selected from each chapter of the book and defined in student-friendly terms. Vocabulary words and their definitions are grouped by chapters. Each vocabulary word is accompanied by the page number and its definition.

✅ This is a great resource for students who need some words defined to enhance their comprehension of the reading. While reading the book, students can refer to the vocabulary packet anytime they come across unfamiliar words. They will have complete access to word meanings as they read to support and enhance comprehension. This also saves "dictionary time."

✅ This can serve as a differentiation tool for students who need additional support in reading comprehension. Another great idea is asking students to incorporate some of these words in their writing responses/assignments.

✅ This resource is also included in Google Slides in case you want to share it with your students digitally!

The resource features a glossary with definitions of 8 types of figurative language as well as examples of how they're used in passages from the play. The resource also includes a two-page quiz in which students have to identify the type of figurative language used in each of 25 quotations from Much Ado About Nothing.

The glossary also includes examples of how Shakespeare uses each type of figurative language in passages from early scenes in the Much Ado. So you'll be able to review the types of figurative language with students before they've finished the play — and before they take the quiz. (1 page)

Students will choose one of the following pages of scripture and create blackout poetry. They will select words to create a phrase that will be featured as their poetry. After creating the poem, they will color the rest of the page, leaving only the key phrases uncovered.

Students can create traditional blackout poetry and use a black marker to cover the rest of the page. They could also choose to draw a picture of the passion or resurrection over the words to convey more meaning.

The pages all contain words from Matthew 26 and 27 which tell about Jesus’ passion and death. There are different fonts available to give the students more choice in their assignment.

When I assign this project, I ask the students to use these sad words to create a positive poem, reflecting the glory of the resurrection, and then draw a resurrection image over the words. This helps the students reflect on the sadness of Jesus’ death, but also to focus on the purpose of His sacrifice and the goodness and grace that came from His death.

This Product Contains:

Assignment Description

Rubric

34 Pages for Blackout Poetry

This activity is a great introduction or follow-up to my Lent Bundle of games, guided notes, PowerPoint, and a test. I love to use this toward the end of the unit so students can reflect on the deeper meaning of all the content that we’ve been covering.

Objective: Reflect on the words of scripture and create a poem and artwork to communicate some of the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Choose a page of words from Matthew 26 & 27.

Create a poem by selecting words from throughout the page. Most poems will be about 10-20 words long. The poem does not need to rhyme—it will be free form poetry.

Feature the words of your poem so the reader will read your poem, but not the rest of the words on the page. You can leave your selected words blank, draw a box around each word, or color your poem in one color and color the rest of the page with other colors.

.

Cover the rest of the page with color. You could draw a picture covering the page, or ‘blackout’ all the other words on the page by neatly coloring the entire page with one color.

Additional Ideas for Lent Blackout Poetry:

1. Collaborative Projects: Encourage students to work collaboratively to create blackout poetry on larger sheets of paper, combining multiple pages of scripture. This promotes teamwork, discussion, and a collective interpretation of the text.
2. Multimedia Elements: Integrate technology by having students use digital tools to create blackout poetry. They can use graphic design software, apps, or even incorporate audio elements to enhance their artistic expression.
3. Reflection Journals: Pair the blackout poetry activity with reflective writing. Ask students to journal about their choice of words, the process of creating their poem, and the emotions they experienced during the activity. This helps deepen their personal connection to the scripture.
4. Gallery Walk: Organize a gallery walk where students showcase their blackout poetry. This provides an opportunity for the entire class to appreciate and interpret the diverse perspectives and creative expressions of their peers.
5. Cross-Curricular Connections: Connect the blackout poetry activity to other subjects, such as history or theology. Discuss the historical context of the scriptures or explore theological concepts related to Jesus' sacrifice, making it a more interdisciplinary learning experience.

Benefits of Lent Blackout Poetry:

1. Critical Thinking: Analyzing and selecting words for blackout poetry requires careful consideration and critical thinking. Students must delve into the scripture, discerning which words carry the most significant meaning for their intended positive message.
2. Artistic Expression: This activity allows students to express themselves artistically, whether through traditional blackout methods or by incorporating drawings and images related to the passion and resurrection. It caters to various learning styles.
3. Spiritual Reflection: Lent is a time for introspection and spiritual growth. The blackout poetry project provides students with a unique opportunity to connect emotionally and spiritually with the scriptures, fostering a deeper understanding of the Easter narrative.
4. Creativity: The open-ended nature of blackout poetry encourages creativity. Students can experiment with different fonts, colors, and artistic elements, making each creation a unique representation of their interpretation.
5. Integration of Technology: By incorporating digital tools, students gain valuable skills in technology and design while adapting a traditional concept to the modern classroom.

By expanding on the traditional blackout poetry approach, educators can elevate the impact of Lent blackout poetry, fostering a richer and more engaging learning experience for students.
