Participants break into groups of two. Without consulting each other, one person should come up with a "Why?" The other should come up with a "because". Some of the links work beautifully. Others are bizarre, but they might work even more beautifully.
Try the exercise with if/then and I used to/but now.
Some examples:
Why do I see the things in your eyes?
Because the TV is on.
Why do I have to grow up.
Because you broke it.
I used to be afraid of the dark,
But now I can't see a thing.
I used to fall in love at the drop of a pin,
But now I sleep with my eyes open.
WORD Tickets
On the back of the tickets write some wonderful words for poetry:
Provocative nouns, crackling verbs, resplendent adjectives, etc.
Place the tickets in the basket. Draw out 10 new tickets and try to use them in a poem!
REMINDERS!
*Don't forget you have polished poems due today. Make sure everything is labeled and dated.
*If you finish your work, please read the next section of Collins in groups.
*Next week I will be requesting new poems- some of which should be reflective of the prompts provided. Please keep that in mind.
