Help me! I don’t know what I am, or what happened, but I have six legs and wings. When I walked flew into school, I almost got crushed! HELP! p.s. If you don’t recognize me, that’s normal… – – – These pieces were composed during the May 13th session of the Science Creative Literacy Symposia. During this day, students examined the many wonders of insects (using microscopes, and from resin collections, as well as from the Spencer Entomology Collection). Afterwards, students were then asked to design their own insect, as well as compose a postcard written as if they had…

Dear Family, I’ve been turned into a big insect! Everything is so much bigger, and I feel so insignificant. My legs feel so funny now, apart from the fact that I have six of them. I have a heavy hard shell, and two long antennae. Although everything’s much different, some things are easier. I can feel with my antennae, and finally, I can hold a book, the TV remote, a drink, AND food at the same time! From, your family insect. p.s. Mom, I told you that that shirt was too big! – – – These pieces were composed during…

life as a kiwi is tough because going through the intestines sucks. growing stabs knifes through your fuzzy skin, your flesh being ripped apart by jagged white monsters sucks. trying to portray the stereotype of the “kiwi” plump, juicy, tasty, sucks. knowing that your mother tree grew you to be eaten sucks. life as a kiwi sucks. – – – This piece was composed during the May 5th session of the Science Creative Literacy Symposia. During this day, students performed a few biology experiments that examined change (DNA isolation from Kiwi, and a pineapple enzymatic degradation of jello). Afterwards, students…

I can just imagine. Looking down on everyone else. Not being short. – – – This piece was composed during the May 5th session of the Science Creative Literacy Symposia. During this day, students performed a few biology experiments that examined change (DNA isolation from Kiwi, and a pineapple enzymatic degradation of jello). Afterwards, students were then asked to create poetry, again examining a subject in light of different perspectives. More pieces from this class can be seen here.

I don’t like cats They meow and scratch they never like to be pet they keep you awake with their stupid purrs they cuddle in your bed they’re so soft and fluffy they’re fun to play with so cute and adorable I love my cat! – – – This piece was composed during the May 5th session of the Science Creative Literacy Symposia.

The underbelly of a tiger, The bald head from an eagle. A gentle feather from a swan It surrounds nature in many ways.

How do I love thee brain? Let me count the ways. I love thy neurons which communicate with the rest of my body. I love thy neocortex for allowing my senses to work. My soul reaches out to you. I love you to your cerebellum for integrating my senses with movement. I love your river-like blueness and your ideal grace. – – – This piece was composed during the May 14th session of the Science Creative Literacy Symposia. During this day, students were given a tour of various human organ systems, and allowed a chance to explore them with microscopes.…
