Grab a marker and today’s morning edition and start blacking out sections to create a new story. It could be a poem, a picture, or a novella, all drawn from the words of the latest news.
This is a 3 star assignment.
Instead of a national newspaper I decided to choose the UMW newspaper The Bullet. I walked into the academic building Combs and grabbed the first edition of The Bullet that I saw. It was from September 20, 2012, as shown in image above. I saw this article on the front page called Study Abroad Provides Choices by Kim Humphries. The word choices stuck out to me the most and that’s what I decided to base my shot mini poem about. So I read through the article and found words that would go together that describe the work choices and the process of making choices. I created this short poem from words in from the newspaper because it is really relating to what I have to do now in my life. I have to make a lot of decisions (which I’m not very good about) about life and college. For example I have to make a choice of what I want to major in as well as choosing what I want to do with the rest of my life after college. I enjoyed doing this assignment because it was something I would not have thought to do. It just came up when I clicked choose a random one in Visual Assignments.
Here below is a typed out version of my poem I blacked out from The Bullet newspaper:
Choices
Which began,
And ends.
Once in between,
Possibilities,
Encouraged,
Options,
Provide advice.
In the end it will be worth it.
