Search for “Selfie”: Student Made Poems
Like Whyte,
you will be responsible for writing a self –portrait poem. I would like to see
you take your writing to the next level moving from surface-level writing to
the deeper and application stages of writing as a 30 level student.
To guide you
in the writing/ thinking process, I have outlined a few questions to think
about before you get started and also gave you some space to brainstorm ideas.
Remember, a brainstorm is just that! You do not need to use the ideas, but it
just serves as a place to start!

identity and sense of self?
What
is our purpose of being?
