As we begin our first major writing assignment together, I'd like you to take a moment to think about some of your favorite collegiate writing assignments. When I discuss writing with students, it seems they remember most fondly the projects that interested them and related directly to their own lives. In short, we tend to enjoy writing about the things that we, well, enjoy! I encourage you to keep this in mind as you choose your topic for Unit 1 and urge you to choose a place that interests you personally, not simply one that seems like an "easy" paper topic.
In this week's blog posting, please take some time to talk about your chosen place for Unit 1. Here are some questions you may consider answering:
*What makes this space appealing? Why did you choose it?
*What do you expect to find upon observation? Why?
*Are you part of the target audience?
*What pre-conceived ideas may influence your objective observation? How can you overcome these obstacles?
Please remember that your blog posting is due Thursday, 1/29 at 8 AM. Your responses to your peers' postings are due Friday, 1/30 at 5 PM.
