Gopher Writing Camp 2006
These middle school participants in the first ever Gopher Writing Camp, sponsored by the Minnesota Writing Project, spent four and a half days engaged in writing experiences. On Tuesday afternoon, students wrote a poem or short story based on the statue "Big Catch" by Judy Onofrio in the collection at the Weisman Art Museum. In a little over three hours students went from a blank piece of paper and a lot of ideas to a finished video with their reading of their own poem as the background.
Students with a completed movie are linked below. Unfortunately, due to a hard drive crash in our already hectically short time frame, the projects of Alexis White, Eva Serbus, Naideane Howard, Ashley Gross, and Zoe Larson were regrettably lost. Even the Geek Squad couldn't recover their movies.
