Q1 Connections & Big Ideas

What I'd like you to do here is take a few moments to draw connections. These could be huge and obvious, or they could be small and curious. Stretch. Be peculiar.

Try to come up with one big idea that links several texts, and then come up with one small one. Add texts to what other people notice.


Here's the run down of our readings...
