Subject: My very own RECOLLECTIONS - 10/100 1. With the Hurricane ISABEL upon (past) us, relate a story of a storm (wind,rain,snow,tornado, typhoon, hurrican, tropical storm) which you experienced. -when and where was it, were you in danger or merely disrupted, how did it change your day, were you in your normal environment at the time or traveling, were you prepared/unprepared, if this occurred when you were young, would your feelings about it be changed now that you are an adult. 2. When was a television first introduced to your family group? -color or black and white, what was the brand name, what were some of the shows you watched, the time of day you regularly watched, any preliminary tasks before you watched it (like to generate electricity?), who was usually with you, how did you receive the signal, what was your reception like, did you view it as an exciting invention or as entertainment, did you believe that it would become as important in our daily lives as it has, do you think that too much television for children is bad for them and why, what have you done about this in your family, do you think it is better to see something on television or read about it in the newspapers, when was the first time YOU purchased your own television? What is the single most important thing you viewed in your lifetime on television? 3. TOOTH FAIRY -did you remember that there was a visit, what kind of treats did you receive, did you get money. were you sad that your tooth was GONE, how long was it until you DID NOT BELIEVE, did you perpetuate the stories to your own children, and grandchildren, how did you 'transfer' the tooth to the fairy, why do you think this custom started, have you found that the tooth has reappeared in your mother's collection? (Have you checked google.com on 'your' storm or 'most important television image" for adding some documentation to your story -or for some pictures of that time?) Remember...... Write as you speak.... Be yourself.... Write liberally...... Do not worry about technique.... It is the THOUGHT that counts - or thoughts! Write as if it might be the LAST time you can address the question... 0 203 44
