The Writing Festival

All semester Mr. Andy has been talking about the Writing Festival that would be held on Thursday, April 16, 2009, during dead hour and told us that we were required to attend it. He also said that some of us will be presenting our projects in it. Well my friend and fellow presenter Brandi Redding and I were a part of the few that were required to present our project in it. We presented our Unit 4: The Anti-Essay assignment which was a three-dimensional poem that we wrote ourselves and presented it in a way that we could have audience participation. Our poem was titled “Money” and we would make our audience guess the title. How we did that was I would just start reciting the poem while Brandi would start drawing random lines on the white board. By the end of reciting the poem all the lines on the white board would spell out M-O-N-E-Y. Our audience found this very entertaining and they also appreciate the play money we would sign and hand out to them as a souvenir. The reason why would do that so they could prove that they stopped by our booth to their teachers.
There were many people that were involved in the whole festival. We had quite a few from our class presenting their projects along with us. A couple booths down from us were a few students making music with stick, buckets, pipes, and their own hands and legs. Everyone seemed to enjoy that booth very much. I had a couple other friends of mine presenting from other different English classes. My friend Hunter presented his poem (which made no sense to me). Another friend of mine named Emily made a poster board about pollution and how harmful it is to our environment. She even attached trash to her shirt to prove that she feels that the world is in danger. Everyone did a wonderful job at presenting their projects.
