As of today, there are five working examples that exist for the embodied poetry:English Idioms initiative I am working on with the ELL(ESL) high school teachers and students and the SMALLab team. I demoed them today and I got pretty good reception from the students. The examples we have are: “runny nose/my nose is running”, “afraid of your own shadow”, “talk until blue in the face”, “got up on the wrong side of the bed”, and “head over heels”. Videos will be posted of the three not yet up here.
Tomorrow students will be randomly given the idiom they will make on their own. They will start designing their idiom composition on paper first and then we will move to SMALLab and SCREM after Spring break.
