Write at least 500 words as a Word document, double spaced with 12-point font and 1-inch margins, in response to the following prompt, created for the Great Works Pilot Program that we are participating in. Give your response a good title!

Revisit our reading schedule and choose one literary text that weve read so far this semester that you did not understand when you first read it on your own but came to understand it after writing about and discussing the text. If you choose a text that weve read since weve moved to remote learning, by discussing I mean reading your classmates postings and questions, reading my notes/questions and/or viewing my videos about the text. This could also include the conversations that you might have had with friends and family about the text. Think about discussion in broad and imaginative terms here, especially given our current situation during quar life.

Next, write at least 500 words as a highly personalized response to your chosen text, explaining why you did not understand/appreciate/enjoy the text until after writing about and/or discussing it with others (in whatever form). Be sure to share the ways in which you discussed the text and how discussing and/or writing about the text illuminated it for you. Do not write a formal essay, a summary or a book report. You can quote from your chosen text but you do not have to. This is an informal, personal response about your relationship to a text that weve read so far this semester.
