When we were writing and our time was up we just had to drop our pencils and move on. I didn't agree with that, because there were times when I was in the middle of writing a word and I had to drop everything. I think that messed up the flow of our poem to have incomplete words and thoughts. I would have much more prefered that instead of saying at the end of each time segment "times up! stop writing," maybe we could have said, "times up! Finish your THOUGHT and hand it to the next person." <BR/><BR/>I do agree with Farolyn. These activities gave me new ideas to use as ice breakers in a classroom with students.<BR/><BR/>I would say my favorite is the portrait that we all contributed to. I was really concerned as to how the picture would turn out...I thought it would be a giant mess of colors and lines. However, it turned out great and I wonder what would happen if another group of people tried it....:)Mandeesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171366502291886003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344332947786509094.post-60119395826494757692009-02-02T10:55:00.000-05:002009-02-02T10:55:00.000-05:00As usual, excellent & thoughtful commentary fr...As usual, excellent & thoughtful commentary from Farolyn. Your awareness of the "time threat" is significant: possible even more disruptive than my interjected words, the limits of temporality divest the pieces of their contemplative & compositional aspects.Mark Cameron Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697922195376438088noreply@blogger.com
