1. Tonight you should register for the class website, Blackboarddreams.com. To do this, you must scroll to the bottom of the homepage and click “Register.” Your username should be your Full Name (First and Last). Leave a space between your first and last name! No funky, cute nicknames. Only first name (capitalize first letter) and last name (capitalize first letter). Be sure to register by midnight tonight. I will shut down registration at that point.
2. Six Word Poem
For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn
Tonight, you will write the first draft of your six word poem/story. Consider each word and consider the story you want to communicate through those six words. In the example above (attributed to Hemingway) there is great depth to that narrative. Imagine the joy, the anticipation, the inspiration, the anxiety, the tragedy, the despair behind those words… All of that and more communicated through six words. Be scrupulous in your selection of words, be thoughtful in your arrangement, be authentic in holistic composition.
