A Snapshot of You: Writing a Cultural Vignette

Preface

I don't ever want to stand in front of a group of students and talk at them about what they ought to know about the world, why they ought to know about it, or how they ought to come to know about it-- I believe that a classroom should be a place of cooperative engagement with materials and information, so that students may construct personal ideals about the world around them in order to better themselves as well as others they may come into contact with throughout their lives. With this foundation of thinking, I strive to design lessons and projects for a future classroom that will inspire students to make life their own, and to responsibly and respectfully learn about the beauty life has to offer through the diversity that exists between individuals. The vignette is an accessible writing style that allows for expression of experience in such a way that even the most resistant writer might feel irresistibley compelled to give it a try.
