Invention : Dinosaurs!
Dinosaurs! was the theme of a four-month residency at Liverpool Museum.
The game and information sheets formed only a small part of the materials
used to introduce and assist young visitors to participate in writing their
poems.
The list of dinosaur species for which there were templates is given, to
demonstrate the range, but as in the Birds game are too many
to reproduce and it is assumed that anyone wishing to use dinosaurs as a
theme would collect the information and materials most suited to their
workshop.
On the making of poems, it is worth noting that there is an unfortunate
tendancy for them to be dominated by carnivorous violence and efforts need
to be made to try to imagine both the landscape and non-aggressive activity.
