Earlier in the year, we worked on ekphrastic poetry—if you weren’t here for it, don’t panic—it’s easier than you think!
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
NO NOTES
When you worked on making your own poetry, you created something that did not exist before that day.
Many of you wanted another day to write poetry—today is that day—the last day you will write poetry to be exact.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
NO NOTES
The only catch is that you will not be looking at paintings, like the last time—you will be looking at actual photographs taken during the Holocaust.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
NO NOTES
Ekphrastic poetry is poetry written in response to a visual stimulus—picture, painting, sculpture, etc.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
TAKE
NOTES
Ekphrastic poetry is poetry written in response to a visual stimulus—picture, painting, sculpture, etc.
Your poem can be about an emotion, a character, or anything else that inspires you.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
TAKE
NOTES
Most of what you read in school is in PROSE, which is everyday speech Books Magazines Films Letters Sentences Thoughts
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
NO NOTES
Prose has rules—complete sentences, correct grammar, punctuation, etc.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
TAKE
NOTES
Poetry has no rules; there is no right or wrong.
Poetry is expression without form.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
TAKE
NOTES
The poetry you create today does not have to be spelled correctly or capitalized in a certain way.
Your poetry does not have to rhyme. You are in complete control of your poem.
Ekphrastic Poetry Reborn
NO NOTES
So, why are we spending time creating poems instead of reading more of Night?
Why?
NO NOTES
On the front door of the National Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C:
Why?
NO NOTES
“You are my witnesses.”
From The Bible: Isaiah 43:10
TAKE
NOTES
“You are my witnesses.” You acknowledge that the
Holocaust did happen and about the lives that were lost.
You must remember by telling others about what you have learned.
A Quote from Isaiah 43:10
TAKE
NOTES
I think a great way to remember and bear witness to those lost in the Holocaust is by creating a poem that captures how it makes you feel.
The best poems will be kept for future classes to see.
A Quote from Isaiah 43:10
NO NOTES
By not “bearing witness” to what happened during the Holocaust, we invite the same tragedy to happen again, either here or elsewhere in the world.
“Who cares if I remember?”
NO NOTES
Remember, it didn’t start as a Holocaust—the Germans worked in small steps until everyone was brainwashed into believing that Jews were evil.
I have a poem I’d like to share…
“I don’t care—I’m not a Jew.”
NO NOTES
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;I was not a
communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;I was not a social
democrat.
“At First They Came…”
NO NOTES
Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,I did not speak out;I was not a Jew.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;I was not a

“At First They Came…”
NO NOTES
Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,I did not speak out;I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,there was no one left to
speak out for me.
Today, you will be looking at three (3) photographs from the Holocaust.
You must create three (3) poems—one for each photograph.
Each photograph will be displayed for 8 minutes.
Some photographs are graphic, while others are not.
You can choose to focus on the image itself, a character/object in the image, or an emotion that the image makes you feel (or, anything else if you feel inspired).
Introduction and Directions
NO NOTES
A few rules: Like the last time we did poetry, the only rule
is to be absolutely silent during the 8 minutes while the photograph is up—it’s only 8 minutes!
Keep writing until time is called—give people a chance to write their poem!
You can give your notebook to someone next to you if you want to share before time is called—just remain silent.
At the end of the 8 minutes, there will be a few minutes to share your poems.
If you share, you get a golden ticket (max of 3)
