In addition to reviewing the instructions together, I provided some context about the purpose of the game (pictured here). I emphasized recent statistics about reported loneliness in college students, being respectful of each other's stories, and avoiding trauma dumping. 10/10 would recommend.

My first-year writing students are writing op-ed essays in the style of invitational rhetoric for the next major project. We've been reading and talking about how to foster understanding among differing perspectives for weeks now, and I thought this would be a fun, low-anxiety way to enact that.

We played Story Stitch in #FirstYearWriting today, and it was incredible watching my students tell stories about their lives. It's a super easy card game that involves flipping cards with story prompts, and they can choose to engage the question or skip it, so it's low stakes.

I really wanted to like the animal rights movement class I took in college, but my professor compared me (and only me) to Hitler on the first day of class because I was the only one who didn’t introduce myself as a vegetarian, and it was honestly all downhill from there.

This update is brought to you by the $3 assorted pack of cookie sandwiches I bought yesterday and noticed that "cheese" was one of the ingredients in the assortment. My students were furious about the idea of cheese in cookies, but I'd say at least half of them were brave enough to try them.
