Welcome!

Welcome to Critical Reading and Writing at Taliesin.  I have a great summer session planned out for us, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you while we explore these texts both on this blog and face-to-face in the classroom.  This blog will serve as the platform for our online discussions.  Every week, I will have questions posted to inspire your blog posts.  Students should expect to post weekly on the blog and should check in frequently to comment on students' ideas and engage in the general discussion.  For more information on blog posting and how it factors into the course see the section on "Blog Posts"in our syllabus. 

To help us feel comfortable with commenting on blogger, I would like for all of you to take a moment and comment on this post by answering the following questions: 

1)  What's your name and where are you from?
2)  Who are some of your major architectural influences and why? Can you post a link to an image?
3)  Do you have any experience studying critical theory?  
4)  What literature courses have you taken in the past, and what were your experiences?
5)  What is one place in the world you would like to visit and why? 
6)  Finally, post a link to a video, meme, or cartoon that makes you laugh.


Remember to sign your name on all of your blog posts!
