Write a short forum post (1-2 paragraphs) in which you tell the story of how you became a Literary Studies English Major and why. Go into detail on the challenges and satisfactions you've encountered along the way.
Post before our next class.
Wednesday, August 20
In class:
Discussion of your "origin" stories, motivations, and goals.
Write a substantive forum post (3-4 paragraphs) in which you discuss the top 3 careers that interest you the most. Start with your top one and work your way down. You might already be sure of what you want to do, and that's great if you do, but I also want you to think about other things that interest you.
Post in our forum by noon on Friday August 22.
