Words, words, words



By the time tomorrow is over, I will have spent about 45 hours in 4 days working with English 102 students and their portfolios.  I love my students, but I'm sick of words.  That's where this idea came from, as I lay in bed late Sunday night (Monday morning...) after reading the first batch of papers.  And obviously, it was also inspired by last week's discussion of Chun.

Cinematography by me
Music by Kaki King ("Bari Improv" from the August Rush soundtrack)

Yep, I used iMovie, my digital video camera, and LOTS of books!

"Wow" is right... I like what you do with the Chun book at the end, but I especially like the question you ask and how you ask it. This will be fun to discuss.

Hey there Marla.

Can I borrow that Anne Lamott book?

Thanks, Sarah ;)

Woot, Tolkien!

That's a cool take on animated internet poetry, Marla. I had an ephiphany: "Ahh, she's showing us words AND using the word "words!"
