Writing Assignment: Portion for Week 1

Your Cumulative Writing Project for the course will be an ongoing writing assignment. Not every week has an assignment to add to this cumulative project, but many do. You should complete the assignment during the week it is paired with a video topic, but you will not submit any of the writing until the end of the course. Therefore, keep this all in one document, which you add to as you complete each assignment. When you get to the end of the course, submit the entire document with all of the writing assignments. 

Week 1 Assignment: I introduced myself to you. Introduce yourself to me. Begin the Cumulative Writing Project (document) with these 4 items:

1. A picture of yourself and the place where your congregation meets. 
2. A paragraph describing where you live – your geographic location and some information about that area (rural vs. urban, population, climate, interesting facts) 
3. A paragraph describing why you signed up for this course and what you hope to get out of the experience. 
4. At least 4 “true” statements, similar to what I shared in the video. You may need to research to find some statistics related to disability in your geographic location. For example, what percentage of the population where you live has some sort of disability? What areas of disability are most prominent? What other statistics are important to this topic?
