Day 7 - Vignette

On day 7 of the "To The Wood" STEMersion, we learned about writing a vignette. This is a brief literal stretch of a picture using the five senses. Vignette can be in many forms like poem, narrative.

First, we wrote a practice vignette on this image.

Autumn, season of fall,

River flows from a distinct creek.

Fish, swimming along,

Awaiting to be hunted by a hungry bear.

Surrounding by evergreens sprouts,

Showing off glimpses of sunlight.

The reflection of red, yellow, and green,

Invaded by the brown, soft surface.

Filled, heading back into the wood,

Face smirking with a bright smile.

Laying down, head against the warm floor,

The long sleep is about to begin.

Then, we choose an image of a creature we had taken of during our STEMersion.

Walking bravely down the cold,

Wet grass in a morning of a bright summer.

Reflection of the spotted,

Black and white fur like a knight in shining amour.

Skinny little black neck bending down,

Large beak preparing to engulf the little flower.

In the green grass, its head drown,

Deeping in the sea of grass with full power.



Next, we watched, and read chapter 9 of,  "Never Cry Wolf." This is based on a true story of a biologist name Farley Mowat when he studied wolf behavior in the Canadian tundra. This is so that he could proves that wolf had done no harm to the caribou herbs in the tundra, and that wolf is no danger for us to harm them. 

This story taught me that animals are just like us, having their own family, caring for their young. On some aspect, they're even wiser than us in term of being natural survival.
