Reading Memo 1

You may submit this memo in written form or as audio/video. In either case, you should include a formal works cited indicating any course readings and outside readings that informed your discussion. 

In about 500-1000 words*, reflect on the course readings and discussions so far. Ideally, your memo will have some sort of unifying theme or thesis that draws your ideas together. The goal here is not to repeat the readings and discussions, nor to cover them in their entirety, but to engage more closely and meaningfully with specific topics of interest to you. Your discussion should be well-organized and should make specific reference to course readings. I encourage you to be creative in style and approach, and we can discuss what works or not together.

*Audio submissions will be more difficult to ascertain word count. On average, most people speak between 115-150 words per minute. If you are speaking at a pace that matches this average, your submission should probably be between 4-8 minutes long.

*You may go over the 1000 word suggestion, but should not go below 500 words.
