Identify and describe one “story” that you encountered (from the news, Facebook, your

family/friends, etc.) in the past week, and explain how and why it impacted you.

Minimum length = 750-1000 words (about two and one-half pages).

Goal

The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about “stories” you encounter in your

everyday life – not about yourself, but about other people or situations. These can be funny,

serious, light, or heavy – anything you stumble across during the previous week that caused you

to recognize a “story” that allowed you to enter another person’s life, point of view, or local,

regional, or national issue. The goal here is to link the goal of your textbook (“How Stories Make

Us Human”) to your own life and the larger world around you.
