Day 7: October 20th, 2010

Today's class was very interesting and entertaining! Once again Jimmy conducted class in the front of the room in a small intimate circle. Today was an unusual class because we got to know each other a lot better and got to know who was good and not so good at lying. The best liars of the class were Chomsiri, Danny and of course myself ha ha. We all were asked to think of two truths and one lie. All of the things we said had to be something that people don't know about us. I had a hard time thinking of what my interesting facts would be. I wanted to say things that at first glance, appeared unbelievable so I could trick the class into believing my lie was the truth. I chose to share that I have 11 piercings, A 2 year old daughter, and I was born in San Diego. The entire class thought that there was no way I have 11 piercings, so as I planned, they all believed my truth was a lie. I then revealed that I am not a mother. I really enjoyed this exercise because it allowed us to address our flaws and qualities in oral presentation. I loved the idea behind this exercise.

After getting to know our classmates, we presented the images and headlines. This time around we all did a much better job and had a clearer understanding of what was wanted on the assignment. My classmates headlines were humorous, unexpected, original, and for the most part creatively fit with the images chosen. There were a variety of images and approaches to headlines. I think we all thought outside of the box and it is evident that we are beginning to explore our creativity. Over the weekend we are to come up with the 1 phrase/headline and 10 entirely different images that coincide with our headlines.
