Assignments – Week #2
- Read “Memories of Meals Past” (You can find the link under the “Texts” tab.) In response to your reading, create a blog post in which you share a “memory of a meal past” of your own. Use the examples you read as your inspiration as you flesh out your memory. What was the context of the meal? What was its significance? What sensory details can you provide to bring your memory to life for your reader? Feel free to add a photo to your post. Your memory should be shared on the blog no later than noon on Monday, February 5th.
- Read Gabrielle Hamilton, “Killing Dinner”. Please bring a hard copy of the essay with you to class on Monday.
- Read your classmates’ posts about “Memories of Meals Past”. Choose three posts that piqued your interest and respond to them. (Look for posts that do not already have many comments. We want to be sure that every post is commented upon!!) Make your comments as specific as you can. What did you particularly like about the writer’s post? What questions do you have about the experience the author is describing? What else would you like to know about it? How does this post connect to your own identity and memories? Please make sure that you have shared your comments by 12 pm on Wednesday, February 7th.
- In preparation for Wednesday’s class, please read “Coming Home Again” by Chang Rae Lee and ” How Ramen Got Me through Adolescence” by Veronique Greenwood. You can find them under the “texts” tab above. Be prepared to discuss the two texts in class.
