I. Introductions: Four-Question Interview (followed by the Name Game)
II. Name Game
The name game is an activity that we will do for the beginning of the semester. At the start of each IRL 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!
- What made you choose this class? What do you most want to talk about and address this semester?
- What do you do besides study? Hobbies? Talents? Deepest wishes?
- What is your pronoun? (How comfortable are you with asking people that question? Why?)
- YOUR OWN QUESTION

III. Overview of the Course Website and Syllabus
- Please remember that there is an agenda like this for every IRL class. If you miss a day, look at the agenda. Do not send an email asking what you missed.
- Online classes ask you to read/do something at this website and then go to Blackboard and use the discussion board. Blackboard is waaaaaack but we are forced to use it for online discussions until we find an alternative.
- Please also get in the habit of pointing out website typos to Carmen. Let's get in the habit of doing this for one another since we will all be designing websites in this class.
