Found Poetry
We will use the timeline on the board and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website to do some pre-reading exploration of the Holocaust. There is so much to learn about the Holocaust that we could spend the entire semester on it! So, we must choose what parts on which to focus. Today, your task is to create a first version of a found poem. What is a found poem, you ask?
