Watch the video: Metaphors and Poetry
Read the story: TBD
Assignment:
1) Write a poem about someone important in your life. Do not use any abstract words (like love, care, fear, hate, enjoy, soul, passion, compassion, faith – none of these). Only use concrete images to relay information. Make the reader experience your true ideas and feelings. Don’t be “deep”, just help the reader experience your actual feelings and understand your topic. There is no requirement about the length of the poem, you can make it as short or as long as you need.
2) Upload your poem as a document / Google Doc into this folder (select the folder of today’s seminar). If you can’t upload your poem, email it to us at [email protected] or [email protected] and we will upload it for you. Include your name in the title of the document.
3) Start looking at your best story that you’ve written during the camp over the weekend. Edit it, rewrite it, make it great! Upload your final improved version of the story into the folder “Your best stories” in this folder. If you can’t upload your poem, email it to us at [email protected] or [email protected] and we will upload it for you. Include your name in the title of the document.
