On Tuesday, we were educated about the Jewish Ghetto and community through several mediums. You now have the opportunity to write your interpretation and show the connections you made. Connect readings, walking tour, museum, and the images you took from the day.
Tips:
-Find a quiet spot (this is your "on-site"--you alone with your journal)
-Review the Jewish Ghetto tour, review what you learned at the museum, review the images from the synagogue
-Think slowly, take time for memory to awaken
-Reflect on the contradictions and reflect on the ambiguities of these "contradictions"
-Consider the "gates" we had to go through to enter the site
-Consider why these gates exist now and also what gates and walls surrounded the area in the past, and why.
-Always consider both the man made, natural boundaries, and mental boundaries.
-How have these gates been crossed and where are the borders now?
Freewrite first, then post rewrite/edit and post to your blog by Tuesday, January 26.
Make the posting as long as you need it to be. You will know if its too short.
Use active voice
Be specific
Use image driven writing
Use all your senses in your descriptions
Think about the "hour glass" structure:
1. Broad connections
2. Specific experiences and images that create details (stories are always more engaging)
3. Then back to broad. What are your questions? Why do you care?
