  1. What made you choose this class?  What do you want to talk about and address this semester?  Why?

  3. What is your preferred pronoun?  
  4. YOUR OWN QUESTION
Feel free to write down your partner’s answers as you will need to remember what they tell you.

II. Name Game
The name game is an activity that we will do for the beginning of the semester.  At the start of each class, 4-5 people will have to go around the room and say everyone's name.  This activity is meant to form community.  This is a class where you need to know everyone's names and interact with them significantly.  This is something to be taken seriously---hence, we start this course by making sure we know everyone's names!
​III. Overview of the Course Website and Syllabus
