Asemic Writing in the Classroom

I've been digesting some of the asemic writing that Andrei and others have point me towards.

Recently, I had the students look at Shaun Tan's book The Arrival, which helps the students understand how it feels to be in a new place and have no understanding of the language.

The students planned out their own asemic alphabet using this sheet and are currently adopting it into a movable type project.


I'll try to post an update when the project is complete.
