Out of Classroom Experience

Please take your skills, dreams, interests, and passions out of our classroom and into the world at large.  You may hear a visiting author at a local bookstore, attend an evening literary poetry reading or lecture (such as the library offers), enter a contest, or submit work for publication (consider a local paper; send off poems to a magazine; finally publish that novel).  If you are uncertain whether your event qualifies for this assignment, please ask.

Answer each prompt below in three or more complete, grammatically correct sentences.

1.  Describe your experience and how it relates to our course.

2.  Tell me something interesting that you learned from this experience.  How might you use this experience to move forward in your own academic development?
