Complete all five exercises by class time on Monday. (If you've been hand writing them, you'll turn in your drafts. If you've been typing them in a Google Docs, share one folder called "Slant Poetry".)
One poem should be labeled "Workshop".
Here are links to the exercises:
#1: Slant Apology
#2: Your Choice
#3: Self-Portrait
#4: Poem addressed to the people of a place
#5: "Billie" exercise
Reflection:
Reflect on the exercises. Think of each exercise. Was it productive for you? Did it help you access a vein of creativity and invention? Or, was the exercise merely an assignment that you had to complete? Reflect on why the exercise worked or did not.
Reflect on your writing habits. Think of where and when and in what conditions and in what state of mind and in what way (laptop, desktop, paper, etc.) you wrote. What circumstances were most productive for you? What circumstances were least productive. Reflect on why. Think about ways to adjust your habits in the future.
