Prompt: For this first writing exercise in our class, please compose a brief essay (around 500-700 words) that does two things: Tells the story of your experiences with reading and writing—how they’ve shown up in your life, shaped you, or frustrated you. Reflects on what your story reveals about the role of literacy in people’s lives more broadly. Some ways to get started: earliest memories of reading/writing, kinds of texts in your home, contrasts with your parents’/grandparents’ literacy, or experiences that changed how you think about reading and writing. After you’ve told your story, step back: what can your experience teach us about the role of reading and writing in our human lives? “Don’t freak out” note The whole purpose of this project is just to get you putting some real words down very early in this writing class, to help me start to understand your story, who each of you is, and to familiarize me with your strengths and struggles as a writer. That is, it’s to establish a baseline.  Don’t allow yourself to be paralyzed by the blank page or fear of not doing it “right.” Just respond to the prompt as best as you can.

They are looking at two types of retail options: 1) a budget, do-it-yourself picture framing warehouse that also sells inexpensive art prints and photography, and 2) a high-end photography equipment/photo gallery business with custom framing. You are not a lighting expert by any means, but you do want to offer them some basic guidelines to guide them as they weigh the possibilities. One of their concerns is the lighting of the store because they’ve discovered that fuel costs are rising again. Since they own their building (which previously housed a hardware store) and will have to pay for the store remodel and monthly energy expenses, they are concerned about containing costs: “We want to operate efficiently enough to protect the bottom line on our balance sheet, but we don’t want to cut back on the necessary atmospheric elements.” Suggest a lighting format for each type of store and explain why each type of lighting (or combination of lighting types) would be most effective for the situation. The building has traditional store display windows. Suggest how they could be used for each type of business. Discuss the impact that the windows will have on interior lighting as well as on window lighting, e.g., an open-back display window versus a closed-back display window for either store.
