The core group of students are just fabulous and had a great time. We warmed up and then moved into a writing exercise pulled from the story. We reviewed the actual text and discussed why they thought memories and remembering were so prevalent in the story. Then they wrote about a person in their lives who is defined by a specific memory. A few of them chose to write about themselves and one even made a whole history up (I loved that one).
We then worked on tightening our machines (lead up to sculptures) and finally polished and added music to the lyrics they wrote with Nathalie. The songs were pretty great and we ended on a good note.
That's it for now,
Emily
