Here is your action list for this period:

1. For today's "Currently" post, list your reading, but not your sentences of the week. Instead, visit the blogs of your peers to read their "Style Mapping" posts from Wednesday. Pick the five most original posts and paste their strongest sentence into your "Currently." Give them credit and/or link to their blog and write a few sentences that explain which are your favorites and why. Which classmates have come up with the most surprising adjectives to describe language?

2. Long poem day. Pick a poem longer than any you have in your moleskine so far, and collect it. It can be a poem we read in class, or another. No song lyrics today, though.
