Cut Up Text: Download the CutUp Machine WordPress Plugin! The Cut Up Technique Cut-up is performed by taking a finished and fully linear text and cutting it in pieces with a few or single words on each piece. The History of Cut Ups A precedent of the technique occurred during a Dadaist rally in the 1920s in which Tristan Tzara offered to create a poem on the spot by pulling words at random from a hat. Burroughs cited T. Gil J. Also in the 1950s, painter and writer Brion Gysin more fully developed the cut-up method after accidentally re-discovering it. Gysin introduced Burroughs to the technique at the Beat Hotel. Argentine writer Julio Cortazar often used cut ups in his 1963 novel Hopscotch. Musical influence source: Wikipedia Read More...

Capitonyms VocabularySpellingCity offers worksheets, games, videos, and teaching activities on capitonyms. Capitonyms are a great way to show students just how much capitalization matters, and matching or fill-in-the-blank games are a fun way to reinforce the lesson. Check out our variety of capitonym resources, each tailored to specific teaching strategies. A capitonym is a word whose meaning changes based on whether or not it is capitalized. Capitonyms can be nouns, verbs, or adjectives. Examples of pairs of capitonyms are: Turkey (the country) and turkey (the bird) China (the country) and china (as in porcelain) Most often, capitonym pairs feature one word as a common noun and the other as a proper noun. March (the month) and march (to walk) Capitonyms can also be adjectives, as in: Titanic (the ship) and titanic (gigantic) Sometimes, a capitonym doesn't change just in meaning, but also in pronunciation -- for example: Mobile (the city in Alabama) is pronounced differently than a mobile phone.

The Book Chook: Secret Codes and Language Games for Kids Secret Codes and Language Games for Kids by Susan Stephenson, www.thebookchook.com Do you have children or students who want to be cryptographers (i.e. those who study techniques for keeping messages secret)? Written Codes Probably the simplest written code for children to use is one where they substitute numbers 1-26 for the letters of the alphabet. The code my little brother and I confounded our (nonexistent) enemies with was one we called the box code. Here are directions for kids (and maybe a helpful adult) to make a card spy decoder at Frugal Fun for Boys. Using small images or squiggles to stand for letters is one way kids can create their own code. Rebus is another way to write in code. You can find lots of rebus messages under these bottle caps. Don’t forget Morse code, a system where dots and dashes represented letters in Samuel Morse’s telegraph system. Spoken Codes/Language Games Gibberish Gibberish isn’t a code at all.
