2/17

Agenda:
*Exhibition overview and Agenda (see below for program)
*Writing conferences w/Matt
*Art work-time!  Get going!


Theme of the Exhibition: "Why Books?"
What it looks like:
*No essays on display, no standing next to your essay or art piece:  Instead, you get to "be" your favorite book, and to mingle with people for the first thirty minutes and share the story of "your book" (who you are as a book).  You want to convince as many people as possible to save your book, and all other books--you can work in groups to convince people who attend the show to save your book, and your friend's books.

*Group Role additions
--Space group:  Pile of books to burn, heaped in a pile, in the center of the room.  Need to be the books that students have chosen; need a kind of container to hold them all in place (plywood screwed together)...

Everyone's exhibition roles:
--You get to "be" your favorite book (any book you like).  Memorize a passage from the book of any length.  Be prepared with the following talking points to chat about with people who attend...
a.  'Hi, I'm ______________ and I wrote the book _______________."
b.  "(Recite your passage)"
c.  Explain why your book's message matters for the world, and why the book deserves to be saved from the bonfire.

Book-burning speech by one or some of the students
Speech interrupted by one or some of the students, implores to the crowd to step forward and save a book.
Bystanders come forward to save a book and take it from the pile.
Go until we've saved all of the books.
