RPo - Telephone Conversation, by Wole Soyinka

Class,
here are three audio lectures that I managed to find on the web. If you have any questions, why not use the 'comments' feature of this blog to generate critical discussion?

REMEMBER: you must include your own personal response to the poem - indeed, to any poem!

Folio - W2 Personal Experience

W.A.L.T.
-----------
We will be learning about writing from memory, and how you can rely on your senses to provide a more effective piece of writing about places and characters.

W.I.L.F.
----------
In your 'Cluster' and 'Freewrite' jotter, do the following:

1. Close your eyes for a few moments and think of a place that you remember from your holiday. Think of some of the details that you would include in any description and make a mental note of them.

2. Open your eyes and, without looking around, create a cluster by putting the place/character name in the centre of the page and circle it. Put down every connection that comes into your head.

3. Now, on a separate page, produce a freewrite of all the words and phrases that come into your mind from looking round the cluster - write down at least a paragraph; just let the words tumble out.

4. Now look at what you've written. Again, think about the place - indoors or outdoors - and write down *three* things for each of the following:

· Sounds that you can hear
· Textures that you can feel
· Odours that you can smell
· Flavours that you can taste
· Objects that you can see

5. Using the present tense, write about a personal memory of the place you thought about or the character you met. Make it short - 250 words or so, but try to get as sensory descriptions. You might invent some things, which is great!
We can't remember every last detail about the past, so sometimes we do invent things.

6. Take a fresh page. You should now have enough detail – look at what you wrote for activities 3 & 4 - in order to write about your personal experience, and make sure your story is in order. Try to write no more than 800 words. Write in the past tense, and remember to use the first person narrative method.
