I would like to know a bit about each of you, as well as how much you all know about the topic of immigration literature. Have you read any memoirs by immigrant authors? Seen any films or documentaries about their lives? Please list the books you have read on the topic and say whether or not you enjoyed them and why. What did they teach you about the immigrant experience? Please write one post in which you introduce yourself in some detail, and describe your family’s own immigration experience and then, a second thread or post, in which you write a 1-2 paragraph post in which you talk about your experience with the topic (in terms of works you have read, film seen, etc..). These short “essays” will not be graded, but they are mandatory and you will need to complete them in order to receive credit for the weekly discussion. Please also comment on and react to the posts by your fellow classmates. I am looking forward to hearing from everyone!
