Shakespeare's Neologisms

The Assignment

1. Create your own insult from the MIT generator or the other generator sites and visualize it. Your visualization can be hand-drawn, digital...even a meme or animated GIF (you will be posting to your blog).

2. Choose a neologism attributed to Shakespeare - or one of his expressions - and match with an illustration of some sort. Your illustration should add or clarify meaning.

3. Create your OWN new word using the remix strategies listed above from the first website. You can create a "portmanteau" using parts of two or more existing words, for example. Or, you can make an existing word into another part of speech, sort of like Facebook did with "Like" (you will then have to provide context by using it in a sentence).

4. After you have created your personal neologism, visualize it in some way (again, analog or digital).

 

1. creating an Insult



"Thou art as loathsome as a toad"





2. Choose a neologism




"A Sad Sight"











3-4. My Own Word



"Fantabulous"

(fantastic + fabulous)

example: Wow, he is looking fantabulous today.
