Please check the Window Poem Assignment on Canvas for full instructions.
In a New Post on your blog, please share your Window Poem. 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
This assignment is due by 11:59 pm Thursday, 9 April. Thanks!
