Day 14

Absent: Kenny

We began a conversational activity to discover some of our latent "body of text."
I told the story of watching a lizard in my backyard when I was a boy. We reflected on that story and found other memories triggered by the tale. Chip took us on a virtual tour of the duck pond in back of his childhood home. From there we split into teams of 2 or 3 and did walk-thoughs of our places of memory. In the process, memories were recovered and stories were found. We then sat in conversation groups of 3 and 4 and began a mosaic-making activity in which each shared story is put onto a card and set in relation to previous stories.

Assignment: bring at least 3 new cards for stories to class on Wednesday.
