First, find one or two magazines (make sure everyone is done reading them first).
Second, get a pair of scissors (ask an adult for help if you need it).
Third, flip through the pages of the magazines, and cut sentences out at random.
Okay, now you should have a pile of cut-out sentences or phrases. The more the better!
On a sheet of paper or in your writing journal, try arranging your sentences. Pick out the ones you like--the words, a phrase, or the meaning. Recycle the ones you don't like. Can you see a theme? Does one of the sentences make a good title? Is your poem silly or serious? Is it nonsensical? Does it rhyme? (It doesn't have to!)
After you arrange the cut-out sentences to form a poem you like, glue them onto the paper. Congratulations! You have written a magazine poem!
