2. Personal Writing (The Current Crisis)
Consider our current crisis as a CONTEXT, and describe the aspects of the crisis that you find most compelling. Consider the background, the order in which events have transpired, the daily changes you have made vs the large-scale changes you imagine for the future. What decisive moments can you choose that illustrate this crisis for you? How will this change the globe forever? What aspect of this is the most interesting? The economic effects, the political effects, the health crisis or the individual struggles of isolation? Look beyond your own experience. What are you reading, who are you discussing this with, what larger ideas is this putting into context for you?
