In Flanders Fields - Blackout Poetry

Blackout Poetry for Remembrance of the Poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae

Poem has been repeated multiple times within the document so there is plenty of options to select words that stand out to you.

Advice taking from Twinkl on how to complete a blackout poem:

1. Scan the page for a word that stands out to you and has significance or meaning to you.
2. Now reread the whole page and look out for any words that could link with the first word you chose. Lightly circle with pencil any words that stand out to you. Try to avoid circling more than three words in a row.
3. List all of the words that you have circled on a separate piece of paper. Write them in the order that they appear on the book page.
4. Read through all of the words that you have selected and choose the final words that you would like to use in your poem. Black out any unwanted words with a black pen.
5. Add any illustrations or pictures you would like to go with your poem. Again, use a
   black pen.
