Please do a New Post today on your blog inspired by one of these images and following these steps:
1. Add the image to your post. (You can right-click the image and save it on your computer to upload, or you can click the link below the photo and copy/paste the url--sometimes you lose the image later when you do it this way).
2. Write a prose paragraph of about 250 words inspired by the image (a fictional story, a personal memory, a vivid description...whatever comes to mind).
3. Then rearrange the exact same words in your paragraph as a free verse poem. Experiment with the font if you'd like.
Example--yours should be a bit longer at 250 words (inspired by Photo #9):
Prose:
He put his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me, like he knew just who I was and what I wanted, that I loved summer nights and big, thick books, dancing and chocolate milk. I just closed my eyes. I didn't know if his favorite color was red or blue, if he liked Italian or Chinese.
Poem:
He put his hand
on the back
of my neck
and kissed me
like he knew
just who I was and
what I wanted
that I loved summer nights
and big, thick books
dancing
and chocolate milk
I just closed my eyes
I didn't know
if his favorite color
was red or blue
if he liked
Italian or Chinese.
Be ready to turn in your journal again FRIDAY, 11/16 for our mid-2nd quarter check (already!?). You should have 10 new, full pages. You could freewrite about a few of the other photos in this post if you need some material. Thanks!
