• Class: We saw in the last lesson, that once the African nations were set free from European colonial rule, they

United States. And this is what we will be examining in this lesson.

• Summative Assessment: For your Summative Assessment on apartheid and

are examples of Found Poems written by former students on the Industrial
Revolution and the French Revolution that you can use as models.
•
• Resources:
• Different written primary sources from the two chapter supplemental
readings.
• The photocopied supplemental reading of excerpts from speeches and
writings of Nelson Mandela.
Day Four: Wednesday, February 11, 2015
• 2._________Using the provided packet of primary documents on apartheid and Nelson
Mandela and the class notes, the student wrote a Found Poem.
• Assignment Summary and Rationale: A Found Poem in its purest form is poetry assembled
from non-literacy sources. At some point it became acceptable to take an entire section of a
non-fiction text and arrange it using poetic devices. All of the text had to be used, nothing
could be deleted or added. Pulitzer Prize winning author, Annie Dillard, published a book of
found poems entitled “Mornings Like This” and changed the rules of found poetry for
forever. She lifted lines of texts from various books, discarded the original intent, and
arranged the lines into a poem. Dillard dropped words from the text. She did not add any
words of her own, except for the title. She credited the source.
• Since then, found poetry had evolved further. Writing found poetry can help you grow as a
poet. You’ll see new word relationships, new ways of developing thoughts. You’ll put lines
together that you may never had thought of yourself. You will hear sounds and you will find
fresh imagery.
• Some sources urge poets to start with “found” lines and then add to them. That is using the
found lines as a trigger. Adding your own words is not creating found poetry. Found poetry
is all about being a good editor, having a good ear, and learning how to shape a poem. It will
push your poetry to another dimension as long as you are crafting and not merely presenting
a list of lines.
Found Poem
• Writer’s Role: You are a Black South African born in the 1970s under the
system of apartheid. You worked with the ANC and the UDF to help bring an
end to apartheid.
• Writer’s Purpose: The purpose of the found poem is to examine the essence
of apartheid, the abuses of power, struggle to create equality, and examine
the evolution of Nelson Mandela from violent protests to civil disobedience.
• Audience: Since Mandela passed away in December 2013, this found poem is
to be an educational tool to teach students in and out of South Africa about
apartheid and the leadership of Nelson Mandela.
• Type: Three---this means a self-edit and revision---be sure to attach rough
draft.
Found Poem
• 3.________FCA One: The student used only the words, phrases, and sentences from a minimum of FOUR written primary sources on apartheid and
Nelson Mandela to compose MINIMUM of 15 to 20 QUALITY LINES in the found poem. Worth 50 Points
• 4.________FCA Two: The student used at LEAST THREE OF THE DIFFERENT RULES AND STRATEGIES for writing a found poem on what can and cannot
be altered to evoke powerful images of the racism behind apartheid, the abuses of power, the struggle to end it, and the role of Mandela. Worth 20
Points
• Found Poem Strategies:
• Use only the words, phrases, and sentences from your sources.

• You can change the tense of a word.
• You can repeat words, phrases, and sentences.

that
they
are
all
alone.
