About Me!

What is the About Me?

The About Me is an opportunity for you to express your ideas and interests through writing. Think of this as an introductory letter to someone who would like to get to know you and what you are doing this semester.  There will be questions related to the theme of our triad: Stories of Freedom! This will be an ongoing assignment throughout the semester so save your work. I will be asking for drafts throughout the semester.  

The Questions!

  • ​Your name and preferred first name

  • What does freedom mean to you? 

  • Your "hometown"? What makes you define this location as your hometown? 

  • A "selfie" or image/picture that represents you: What do you think others think or know about you based on that visual representation?

  • "I was born in . . . . I first remember . . . . etc." (the stereotypical launch of a personal narrative)
