Discussion Forum 5
There are two parts to this forum; in the first part, you’ll carefully read the Essay 2 Assignment Prompt that I’ve posted to Moodle. I’d like you to reflect on at least two (though you may choose more) places that you might like to profile; be creative. I’ve had students profile recording studios, team clubhouses and locker rooms–it’s amazing where people will allow you to go if you politely contact them and let them know you’ve got a “school project.”
Sometimes the answer is no, but usually people are delighted to help. So please write about at least two possible places you’d like to visit; eventually, you’ll have to choose one, and in the Writing Journal for this week (due Sunday), I’m asking you to narrow things down a bit.
For the second part of the Discussion Forum, I’d like you to watch this video, which is a video profile of the Vatican Library
In what ways is this a profile? What did you like about the video? What, if anything, could you apply to your essay?
