The first workshop that i did was to go to the first meeting of the writers society. This meeting was Thursday, September 8th during club hours. This meeting had approximately 15 people in it, not to mention the 3 students, and one professor who helped to run the club. The meeting lasted for about an hour and 20 minutes. The first part of it was spent talking about what the Writers Society did, its affiliation with “The Ticker” and its use of blogging. The second part of the meeting was spent going around the room class-room asking everyone to say two truths and one lie, with the rest of the group trying to identify which of the three statements were truths/lies. The last part of the meeting was spent in giving examples of what kind of writing would be done in the class. One of the students who ran the group, Dariya Makhova, read aloud one of the assignments that she would give us. The assignment was a description of a person that you find intriguing, that you have never spoken too. I enjoyed the meeting, but decided not to join the club because i was reluctant to commit to something in my first weeks at Baruch.
