What I am missing is how to thread the texts together. I could cut everything up into individual words but them what will be the end-product? What will be the purpose? What work is the various texts doing? Sarah Miller gave all of my peers a similar task for her history. She cut out 25 copies of a text into individual words, threw them into 25 envelopes, handed them out with the instructions, "create a narrative from the words provided in this envelope." She added an additional element that we had to use ALL the words provided. The exercise worked to a point and I was able to create a coherent text, but eventually the exercise broke down. I had many words left over that I could not place into a coherent sentence and had to switch to poetry and eventually that systems also broke down leaving me with gibberish.

The difference between Sarah's history and communicative objective 2 was I could always go out and hunt down more text for any words I still needed provided that I had time to hunt down more authorless text and could find the necessary word.

Now I am wondering if I should look at a different type of authorless text.
