Silence

This website should get you to Schmidt and Dalachinksy's collection of paintings and poetry. 

These images and words are your inspiration for your next assignment.

  • You will take a WWI photo that you find on the internet. 
  • You will select the most striking part of the photograph or the "part that speaks to you and makes you obligated to share its story." 
  • Cut away the extra parts of the picture.
  • Use watercolor, construction paper, scrapbook paper, markers...and design a background that helps your image tell a story or incite an emotion. 
  • Model your image after Schmidt.

Next, write a poem to accompany your artwork.  I expect each of you to blow me away with your brilliance.  You already do that in class everyday.  You are a very talented group.  Spend some time on this project; it's worth it.  Remember that more words does not necessarily equal better poetry.  I need to feel your poetry "in my stomach." 

Lastly:  Read Chapter 6.  We will have team discussion questions to answer over this chapter on Wednesday.

YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THIS NOVEL.
