So far we have chosen our themes and started an idea tree to begin some multiple interpretations of those themes. Here are some sites you can use to build off those ideas. You can research the clinical definition of your theme find some similar words (synonyms), find some quotes about those words, and acquire some lyrics, poetry, or stories that revolve around those words. Whatever quotes, definitions, etc. you find make sure you highlight them, copy them, and paste them into a word document so you can print them out. You can also write them down in a notebook if you choose not print them out-the point is NOT TO WASTE PAPER. I encourage you to find pictures anyway that you can. I have included some picture search engines-sometimes they work and sometimes not! Make sure your pictures are large to start with or copy them into Word and make them bigger before you print. Lastly, there are some altered book websites you can look at for ideas!
