"A whisper phone can help kids quietly read out loud without bothering other students. A whisper phone can also help a student hear herself read aloud. Some educators think this helps to build reading fluency. These instructions make 60 whisper phone. Total spent is $24.45 + tax for 60 whisper phone. That is 41 cents each. That is much better than the $1-3 teacher supply stores charge."

In a similar vein to Blackout Poetry, the Humument takes the art form one step further to and images and colour illustrations to the 'blacked out' words. Beautiful to look at, and is a good example of how open ended a task involving blackout poetry can be. This would be what I would expect of high school students.
