We started with a memory poem. The students thought of a memory and wrote answers to the following questions. When they looked at their answers they realized they had written a poem.
Memory questions
Time of Year?
Time of Day?
How long did it take?
What was the light source?
Temperature? Weather?
Background noises?
Odors? Aromas?
Witnesses?
What did not happen?
What changed?
Here are a few examples ....
I GOT MY TEETH OUT
September, 2014
Sunday afternoon
20 minutes of torture
Sun setting
Hot and sunny
Dentist drill
Teeth
Bright lights
Something to hold
Blood in my mouth
To the house
Rest my body
KELLY
DOTS
Sunny afternoon
Disease
Hospital
Doctor scaring me
Smell plaster
Laser
My turn
Knife
Shaking & trembling
Blood everywhere
I’m fine.
