  1. Poem Collage For Grade School and High School Students

  2. Max Ernst “invented” a method of pasting together fragments of given or found pictures. By using images that already had a similar ‘look’ (principally engravings illustrating novels, magazines, and technical or commercial publications) he was able to create ‘illusionistic’ new pictures—bizarre fantastic dream-like, ironic or grotesque.

  3. IN OUR CASE • We’ll be making collages out of words, lines, or found language. • Materials: • Magazines– You can get a number of free magazines at your public library. • Scissors • Glue • Paste

  4. GOALS • The exercise demonstrates the malleability of the English Language. • It presents opportunities for visual learners, kinesthetic learners, and verbal learners. • It invites problem solving. • It can involve collaboration.

  5. GETTING STARTED • Distribute magazines, scissors, paste, and paper. • Instruct students to cut words, lines, and images that “strike their fancy. • Have students arrange the words, lines, and images that they’ve cut out on a separate piece of paper and have them paste their findings in the form of a poem.

  6. VARIATIONS

  7. BREAKDOWN OF THE TIME • Allow students to gather and cut their words for the first 10-15 minutes of the exercise. • Take another 10-15 minutes to paste the words, letters, and lines. • Use the remaining time to allow students to share the work with their peers. • Reserve additional time to talk about the decisions they made on their discreet poems.
