\u201cYou will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting…It will come if it is there and if you will let it come.\u201d Gertrude Stein <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My second multimedia project for this course focuses on the process of poetic composition. I used Quicktime to screen capture my creative process as I wrote.

So, as for my piece–watch it and consider having your ELA classroom experiment with their own performance poems. Don\u2019t worry about a “rubric”. This is a process, remember? It’s all about feedback. Have a conversation about it. Have 3.<\/p>\n
