WORD! a unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation, that functions as a principal carrier of meaning.

Mere Christianity:

See Thursday's post for homework.

English:

Create a response to today's field trip.
It must not be an essay.
It is not something like "my favorite poet was _______ because_____". 
Instead, I want you to take what you saw and heard and present something that reflects your mind state or perception of the trip.
It can be on a poet him/herself, on a poem/story you heard, the idea of a Writer's Festival, the moderator, or whatever resonated with you.
You can do a poem, a narrative, a song, a word collage or anything else in written form. 
Be creative.
Bottom line: You need to hand in something that shows me you were present and engaged on today's field trip.

Forgot how dependent we are on electricity!
