Learning target: We can identify images with metaphorical power
We have a short class today with PEAK meeting. In order find powerful images for your digital stories, we have to focus on the metaphorical potential of images. We’ll look for metaphors in two poems and a story. The poems are The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams and Ode to the Drum by Yusef Komunyakaa. These poems are fairly well known, partially because they so effectively evoke powerful metaphors.
The story is Living Like Weasels by Annie Dillard. This piece skirts the border between essay and story, partially because of the descriptive language coursing through the tale. Today, we’re developing our literary eye for these metaphors. Tomorrow, you’ll go hunting on the Internet and in the world for metaphors.
If we have time, we’ll make a file folder on your desktop to drop in your photos, songs, videos, and sound effects.
Homework due Thursday, September 17th
No specific homework. I’m assuming that you are starting to look for images and sounds for your digital story.
