Sydney, this calisthenics was very specific. Each word that you chose could have been deciphered in many different ways, however the way that you interpreted them, gave way to a more personal element which made it relatable. With the ladder of specificity you were able to bring out imagery. I think that this could be the beginning of a free write. You could possibly take all of the words: Phone, Muffin, Finger and Man and try creating a piece through calisthenics as we did today. Maybe you could have a main focal point and construct a piece around the words given. The finger calisthenics was vivid in imagery, and of course a girls dream.
