Prompt Number 3: A Found Essay

Prompt Number 3

Write a “found” essay – an essay constructed from collected, real-world phrases. What things in the world can you find that would make a found essay? Maybe signs/billboards on the road? Maybe beer advertisements? Think about the names of songs, messages on church boards, old postcards, political campaigns, etc. Don’t feel like you need to wander around outside in a pandemic to find things—feel free to search around the internet for ideas and material. Or find things in your home. This need not be long—just a paragraph to start is great.
