Objective: To engage with the food poetry we encountered earlier this semester in a different way.
This week our community is in the midst of a film festival. One Tuesday, my environmental literature class watched Billy Collin's Ted talk on the poetry videos he worked collaboratively on during his time as Poet Laureate. We discussed the possibility of creating our own poetry videos but decided instead to use different mediums (paint, charcoal, pastel, photography) to explore poems we'd read earlier this semester. The students divided into two groups and began working. I spent time with the group is working to represent Pablo Neruda's poem "Ode to an Onion." Next Tuesday both groups will reveal their final project, displaying it in a public space.
