We've written about familiar places and unfamiliar places. In class this week, we went out to random places around campus and wrote down 50 sights, sounds and smells. Now you're going to use those sensory details and write a lyric, poetic paragraph. Think back to the Refrigerator poem we read--your paragraph should mimic that sort of language and make something ordinary seem strange. Take time with your writing and craft really lovely sentences. An elevator doesn't have to seem like an elevator. The lobby doesn't have to seem like a lobby. Make the place you observed come to life or make it seem like somewhere else entirely. Check over your writing and make sure it's clean and uses proper spelling and punctuation. Include 15 different sights, sounds or smells from your list.
Tag this blog post "Chicago place 3" and make sure to comment on two classmates' posts.
Have a great weekend!
