    https://docs.google.com/document/d/17IozAW-5PE-Cm3PmiMHX3HguZiiK9Q8cPOLYHbcKsts/edit?usp=sharing This is a collection of 3 poems I wrote this year based on the seasons. They are fictional but based on real life, which is why I wrote them during their respective seasons, and why I don't have one for summer yet.

      very interesting and abstract. It reminds me of that movie speed with Keanu Reeves.

    So this is like concept work, not an actual narrative, and it's written like a diary or something but here it is:

Dreams and Schemes

Today's activity involves a small piece of writing that you will generate, revise, and polish to what feels like solidity.  Going forward after today, you'll have time to go back and look at other writing you've done this quarter (and this entire semester, for that matter) and use the same process: take what's been generated, develop it, revise it, and polish it, with the goal of sending it to me for suggestions if you like (this is optional but I'm always happy to look at your work and discuss it with you), but ultimately, certainly, to share it with the class. The writing prompt for today: write about a memorable dream or nightmare you have had. By "dream or nightmare" I do mean the kind that happens in REM sleep rather than the more conscious or situational kind.  Unlike most writing you do for this class, I'm going to suggest that you be conscious of the time. Spend roughly 15 minutes generating content, about 15 minutes revising, and 10 minutes po...

Our Animal Selves

Check out "The Bestiary of Bad Kisses" by Ashley Jones. http://www.southernhumanitiesreview.com/bestiary-of-bad-kisses-by-ashley-jones.html   Now take 2-3 animal cards and consider these prompts: ONE: Create a fictional character (human) who has the characteristics of one of these animals. Now this character meets a person who has the characteristics of a second animal. Create a scene of interaction. TWO: Write from the point of view of one of these animals. How might they be different from the way humans typically see them? THREE: Imagine a human is actively becoming that animal. Whether it takes place gradually or suddenly, and whether there’s a reason given for why this is happening, that’s up to you; mainly, write about that transformation. FOUR: Write in first person from the point of view of a human who believes they are this animal, regardless of whether this is actually happening or not (or remains ambiguous). FIVE: Create “The Bestiary of Uni,” describing the studen...

SLAM it!

Now, for something a little different, we're going to look at spoken word poetry (some of which is also known as slam poetry). Amanda Gorman, "The Hill We Climb" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ055ilIiN4 Create a list of homonyms (for example, "right," which has many different meanings pronounced and spelled the same) and homophones (for example, "right" and "write," which sound the same but are spelled different and mean different things). Then consider how you can move from one of these words to another in a poem. Play with the words and the sounds; you can try for internal rhyme, consonance, assonance, alliteration, etc. You can also take a longer word and break it down into shorter homophone words (like the way Amanda Gorman writes "what just is / may not be justice"). One possibility: start with your name (first, last, middle, nickname, or a combination), and break the name down into rhymes and/or homophones. Then keep going!...
