In Class:
Journal-- What responsibility do humans have to preserve the other-than-human world?
Reviewed and annotated Country Diary articles to examine the use of imagery.
imagery: the use of language that appeals to any and all of the five senses.
Imagery is controlled by specific and deliberate diction--e.g., "beasted" in "Could the psychedelic blueness..." or "mellow and gentle" in "Sounds of summer..."
diction: the choice and use of words.
Practiced using deliberate and specific imagery outdoors using sensory stimulants, including the surrounding environment, lemon juice, broccoli, and candy.
With remaining time, students worked on the following assignments:
* Write a piece (poetry, short fiction, anything) based on today's imagery activity that appeals to all five senses.
* Revise and polish a piece from last week's excursion.
Exit ticket: Name one place you consider 'home.'
Homework:
Finish the imagery piece you began today.
