This is some professor's idea of learning to write?
I'd dump the course.

Maybe this could be our next AMHD contest. I'd do it for prize money.

Take a piece of printer paper and fold it like a napkin. Now, open it and you have four squares on each side. Group the words according to if they relate to each other -- words that work together somehow or even if they rhyme. When you're done with that, let me know.

OR, fold the printer paper in half the long way and list nouns on one half and verbs on the other half. On the backside of the paper, list adjectives on one half and adverbs on the other half.

Thank you so much I will do that

I'm working on it right now, I'm finding that some of the nouns can also be verbs, so be careful with that. Let's meet here later to figure out what we'll do next.

It's best with doing the nouns-verbs-adjectives-adverbs listing.

Thanks I am already on it

I am done

Which is your longest list?

Nouns, well I think I did my best I am telling you I suck at english

How many adverbs did you find?

This is sad 2

Also, please answer this for me --

"As I was listing the words, I noticed that, depending on their place in the sentence and how they are pronounced, some words used as nouns can also be used as ________."

Yes, there are only two adverbs. Very good!

Verbs, I think

I have some questions --

1. Do you have to use ALL the words?
2. Does it have to be a poem or can it be a short story?
3. If it has to be a poem, it may not rhyme. Is that okay with your teacher?

I really don't speak english well I mean I speak spanish english is my second language and yes the only class I am losing is english I am just horrible

You are doing fine so far. Answer those three questions I posted and then I will tell you a secret.

We posted at the same time. Ready for the secret?

Yes

Are you sitting down? (This might be a shock.)

Please tell me the secret you got me nervous

Yes please don't tell me you know me because I would kill myself

It's good.

Your teacher "borrowed" all those works from a Hollywood magazine, from a movie review.

Do the words "hunger" and games" from his list make you think of anything? How about "curly" and "stooges"?

Ooo don't worry I knew that we were supposed to take words from an article and make a poem with them

No, I don't know you, but I wish I did. :)

We had to choose 2 articles one about a world problem the other about a topic we like and I liked the hunger games movie

So why not make the poem fit the article's ideas?

So YOU picked out the movie article?

Thank you so much for you're help you sound like a nice person just that I thought you were one of my teachers or something like that

I don't know he just said not to copy the article

I was a teacher and tutor 1,000 years ago, and a librarian for most of my life.

So can we do a movie poem or not?

Yes that sounds like a good idea

Do you want the poem to rhyme? (might be hard to do, but maybe not, haven't tried anything yet).

I can't rhyme

I am going to write every specific

Something like (I underlined words from your list) --

Curly was one of the Stooges (the third one) and lived in a massive cabin in the woods,
And spent summer weekends in the markets when they opened early, and spent lots of money on foods.

And so on.

Write the basic poem with some words and then later you can fill in with more words that you haven't used yet or change things.

3-5 stanzas, 18-20 verses, parallel structure or refrain, alliteration and repetition
