After researching the history of Native American tribes as they are forced from their lands, students create a found poem. Each student focused on a particular theme and took bits and pieces of their notes and combined them to create their poem. The aim of the project is to give students enough background knowledge about what happened to indigenous peoples in order to understand their problems in society today.
When posting follow the instructions below:
Click on the word "comment" below this post, then in the "post a comment" box write or paste your found poem.
When done writing pull down the "comment as" menu and choose "Name / URL" (make sure not to write anything on the URL line. Then write your 1st initial, last name, and ENGLISH mod # (for example: G. Andree: mod 1). Then click on "post comment" to submit your Found Poem to me.

As the VILLAIN,
As FIERCE,
And MEANER THAN SIN.
People were CRUEL to them,
They wanted to make
The Native Americans HUMAN,
By KILLING THE INDIAN
INSIDE them;
They wanted everyone
To be HUMAN.

Native Americans were PROUD,
And people believe
That their culture
