In a New Post on your blog, please share the Window Poem you created in your journal during class on Monday. Add an image--maybe a painting or other artwork that goes along with what you've written. Thanks!
Here are the prompts:
Imagine you are standing, looking out a window you know well, one you look out often. It might be your own bedroom, a classroom at school, your kitchen window, a car or bus window, a window at your job, a friend’s house or a relative’s house…
Next, I’m going to ask you to respond to some questions about what you see out that window. Don’t number the questions. Respond in short phrases or sentences, like lines of poetry…
- What do you see straight ahead of you?
- What is on your left?
- Something is different today—what is it? It needn’t be of great significance.
- Write any line that follows on here, but include the word “sometimes” or the word “always.”
- What else can you see? A detail. In these lines, suggest the time of day or the time of year.
- Look harder. Add two more details, one of them so far in the distance you can hardly see it…or maybe you can’t see it at all
