Email Cut Up Poetry

I.  Email Cut-Up Poetry Assignment                                Faulkner

Directions: 

1. Open up a Microsoft Word document.  Minimize that document.
2. Open up an email account.  If you don’t have one, now’s your opportunity to create one.  They’re FREE!  But you all have an email account through the school system, so I expect you all to be able to complete this assignment.
3. Look through your emails.  Cut the subject lines you like, find interesting or humorous, etc, and paste into your Word document.  The BULK mail folder is an excellent source of funny subject lines!
4. Continue step three until you feel that you have enough words and phrases to craft a poem.
5. Rearrange these subject lines to create a poem of your liking.  You MAY add punctuation, change word tenses, etc. 
6. BE SURE TO TITLE YOUR POEM.  IT MUST BE A POEM OF AT LEAST 10 LINES!
7. Type your name on your poem and print ONCE.

EXAMPLE:

See my example poem here, and then write your own!  Post yours in the comments!

                 

Hey, it’s not a great poem, but I did it in much less time than you will have to work on this assignment, and I didn’t use all of the lines I originally copied.
