Doing the Found Poem was a great activity. We first read through our Day Book and highlighted the good, key parts that we liked. After I read all of my entries and highlighted, I wrote all the highlighted words on a separate piece of paper. Then I cut all of the words out. After that I thought about what I should write about. I thought that since it was game day I will write about the "Road to the Championship." I then started to write it out and finally was able to perfect the story.
This activity was definitely fun to do, I believe that we should do it again some other time.
I wrote this poem because I was in a focused mode, getting ready for our game. It came as a motivational thing that I thought of when we got to Hough's stadium. I had to get refocused after the lock down and this successfully did.

What a great tie-in to your other post, and I also like that this served to be motivational for you on a game day. Something I like about doing FOUND poetry, especially with our own writing, is the words that stand out to us on any given day can change depending on our focus for that day. On game day, words and phrases that have to do with winning/fb will stand out more than others.
ReplyDeleteSo cool. Great reflection, Casey.
