The Collective Unconscious of Vejen BC's English Classes

I have made a picture of all the words used in your exquisite corpses. That way we can see what preoccupied you on the day of our creative writing experiment.

Sometimes when we turn words into pictures we things we wouldn't otherwise notice. There is a website called Wordle that can help us do that by turning texts into word clouds, or an image of a text.

The way it works is that it makes the most frequently used words big. One can choose the font, the colour and the layout in each case.

Here is your Wordle. It seems to indicate that you are the greatest:

Here are the slides for today.

If you need to remind yourselves of any of the instructions for the games, you'll find them in there. If not, ask!

Tomorrow is Creative Writing Day

Don't forget to bring a list of words you have collected. We need these words and phrases for a writing game...

Also, you should read the little piece by Bruce Chatwin that your teacher has given you...

Welcome

Dear students at Vejen Business College!

Welcome to your friendly blog environment for the Creative Writing day at Vejen Business College. This is the platform on which we will be publishing the texts we compose in class and as homework...

When you come to the first session, all you have to bring is a lot of energy and a laptop! Well, actually, you also have to bring a list of words and phrases, but I'll explain more about that in a later post...

Remember that in order to write well, one has to read a lot. You can already start out by checking our suggested blog friends in the blog roll on your right hand screen.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday, March 27, where hopefully you'll show up with open minds and in a writing mood...
