Altered Books

The Idea

Cut the bindings off of books found at a used book store. Find poems in the pages by the process of obliteration. Put pages in the mail and send them all around the world. Lather, rinse, repeat.

A really cool idea and a fun way to work with found poetry.
I got the link and idea from Borderland which is written by a teacher from the state of Alaska.

Science facts set to music. Pretty funny yet educational and might be useful for some specific concepts or as an example to get your students to write their own songs.
