Dear Everyone,
Please take a moment to introduce yourselves to the class. Sharing one’s writing is a vulnerable act, so the more community we create in this class, the more worthwhile and constructive you’ll find the peer review sessions. I’ve included some questions I would like you to answer, but of course feel free to add whatever you think will help us get a sense of “you.”
Please answer the questions in a separate post, and file under the parent category "Introductions." You can add other tags in the separate tag box. Also, feel free to post a thumbnail picture of yourself or your artwork, etc.
1. Which was your favorite class so far? And why?
2. How many pages was the longest paper you have written? Did it include endnotes and bibliography?
3. What was your favorite paper? Please tell us about the topic in a couple of sentences.
4. Which books did you read of late - art, fiction, non-fiction, graphic novel? Comments are welcome.
5. Which artist or writer or musician or director really impresses you? And why?
6. What is your main interest besides writing, art, music, (i.e., the humanities)?
7. Please describe briefly an article in a newspaper or a magazine that got you thinking lately.
8. Please share an event that you found out about through the media, including an on line news or blog that made you more aware of the culture you live in.
9. Which cultural event has really impressed you lately? This can be a museum, a concert, or anything like that, but also a sports game (if you consider this a cultural event, for which there are good reasons). Or anything I am not even thinking of … Again, tell us why.
10. Please share with us a thought or an idea that really widened your intellectual horizon. If possible, give a source for this idea so that those among the others who are interested know where to go to.
