Musuem of Everyday Writing

Group Four: Sarah Scerbo, Nick Reid, Katie Curtis, Bethanie Isaac, and John Michel

Two Theorists: Hooks and Gladwell 

Artifact One: The first artifact we choose is a written list that outlines a spring break budget.  We believe that Gladwell would agree that this is everyday writing because it’s systematic, and it represents active thinking because you can refer back to it at any place and any time.  We selected this as one of our artifacts because it is something we can all relate to- spring break and budgeting.  

Artifact Two: The second artifact we choose is a hand drawn blueprint.  We believe Hooks would agree that this is everyday writing because architecture is a way to express the uniqueness of a culture.   In order to draw a blueprint, one must use creativity and imagination.  

Artifact Three:  The third artifact we choose was a drawing of a fan with writing surrounding it.  We picked this because we believe it incorporates the ideas of both Hooks and Gladwell.  It is both organized and imaginative.  There is also a creative aspect as well as a writing aspect.  

Our exhibit is all about expressing imagination in an organized way.  We have empty walls that people can draw and express their ideas on as they walk through the museum.   Some artifacts are more organized, and as you move through the rooms, they become more creative.
