Family Discourse
A. Write about a strong memory from your
childhood involving education or learning which is indicative or
emblematic of your family life growing up. What narratives, norms,
ideologies, patterns of thought/behavior, moods are present that you
believe may have shaped your current emotional, physical, working,
social life?
B. Think back on a decision you made as a
young adult with or without the help of your family. As you describe
this moment of decision making, think about the mood of the moment. Find
a series of images or a YouTube video that evoke that mood and briefly
explain why you choose that image/video.
C. Find a school picture of yourself from
elementary, middle, or high school. This might be an official school
portrait or a picture of you at school doing some activity or a picture
of you getting ready for school. Analyze the details of your bodily and
facial expressions. What is the mood in the photo? What thoughts,
feelings, memories does this photo evoke for you?
