Week#2

In class:
ASSIGNMENT:
Print out the EGL203 Packet:  Google Doc   PDF  and bring it to every class.
& Capture a moment - in your mind and with words and phrases

At some point during the next 80 hours,‘capture a moment’ worthy of description. While you’re in the moment or shortly thereafter, become very aware of what is going on and what you are feeling.  Take a ‘mental recording’ and as soon as possible write down words and phrases (in any language) that capture everything you can about that moment and help others understand what you sensed and felt. There can be meaning in the simple moments of life, so the moment doesn’t have to involve a lot of activity.   Examples include: Being squeezed between two smelly guys on the subway, taking a romantic walk on the beach, staring at yourself in the mirror wondering if your bangs look right, taking your first sip of beer on Friday night, coming home to your dog wagging its tail like crazy and slobbering all over you, lying awake at night hearing the ticking of a clock worrying about….

On Monday, March 19, bring your list of words and phrases to class.  Do not turn them into sentences or paragraphs yet - we will do that next weekend.  For now, just capture the moment.
