day 2

Today in class we walked to Delco Park. There we met Rob Boley. He talked to us about different forms of writing or delivery. He gave everyone a random page from a magazine. We choose a three random words from the text and then had to make a haiku from them. My partner and I  three words were Ohio grant submissions. The haiku a made next was like this:

Ohio wanted

Grants for the needy student

Submission maybe

Then for the next exercise I had to take the first ten words in a survey and make a short story from that. The sentence was “what many nature lovers don’t know is that there is”. The story didn’t make much sense, but it was interesting to see how a story can evolve from a group of random words. Here is the story my partner and I made below.

What are your favorite things

Many thing

Nature is my favorite

Lovers of nature are lame

Don’t know what you are talking about

Know what I’m talking about

Is you crazy

That is rude

That were the facts

Is you wrong

 I didn't make much of a master piece, but I do think that this activity can help me in the delivery of my nature writing.
