Students in Captain Marjorie Griffin’s English classes have
focused this week on writing vignettes. The first known use of vignette was in
1611 -- a short writing on a vine leaf. Vignette can mean a variety of things:
a decorative photo or display, an inscription or engraving, a short sketch, or
a description. The controlling element
of all vignettes is that they must create an atmosphere or mood and evoke
sensory reaction.
Students have truly excelled in this assignment. They gathered
leaves from the colorful array on campus, researched vignettes, and wrote
vignettes of their own. I wish you could read them! They are emotional,
thought-provoking, and beautifully written.
The bulletin board in room 205 has never looked better than it
looks with the color, texture, and heartfelt writings displayed on vignettes.
