Yes, I did make one of my notes that I learned "How to draw a horse". Of course in further detail what truly I mean is that we used illustration to create a visual metaphor this week. We were told to connect a "How to Read Literature like a Professor' chapter to our own summer reading books using a drawing. This was interesting and I think at first it took me a second to wrap my head around but once my group had picked out a chapter the ideas came more easily. We connected our chapter which was "Every Trip is a Quest" to a horse pulling a carriage because you need the chapter to carry the reader and the books into a deeper meaning. I actually really liked this activity in the end, because it let us use our brains to come up with a visual way to see it that makes sense to us, and then we explained why it made sense to us to other people. This was much better and more involved than if e hd just written them down or just talked about them. We also spent some time towards the end of the week on what separates a story from literature. I actually found out that it is more about what they do for you together that you don't get with just one on its own, and how they benefit and compliment each other in terms of reading. I had never thought of it in terms of them being a pair but I understand now that they very much go together.
