I don't consider storytelling to be one of my strong suits, but this day's project was so much fun!
Jimmy had us all look through our backpacks and purses and with a group of three, make up a story using selected items. It turns out that I had the most interesting things in my purse and I never even realized it until then. We set out an Apple charger, a Disneyland Pass, pencils and paper, keys, some money, a tow truck ticket (that was from this morning--I had to get my car out before class started), and ticket to Spamalot. Our story went something like this:
We went to Disneyland to draw for class. When we couldn't find a parking spot, we parked in a handicap zone. When we returned our car was towed away, so we pulled our money together to get a taxi to take us downtown. He dropped us off at the Ahmanson Theatre where we decided to watch Spamalot instead. Eventually we found our car and paid the fee.
Continuing with our "telling a story" lesson that day, we were asked to bring in three pictures to tell a story.
On Wednesday we all brought in our three pictures and everyone had to guess the story. I went first:
Get it?
We then watched The Powers of Ten by Rae and Charles Eames. It wasn't until the movie started playing that I realized I had watched this in middle school! Even though that was funny, the film itself had the same effect on me--not very much that is. We also watched "Why Man Creates" which was much better in my opinion for it's humor and visual content. What can I say? I love to laugh!
