• Name and location of the site, play, religious institution, reading, or film event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, be sure to include a link to it within the text of your essay in an appropriate place. 
• Type of site or event. For example is it an experimental film festival, a Shakespearean play, or poetry slam? If you attended a reading, name the author or the piece<s) read. Be specific about what you attended, when, and where.
• Name and/or general description of the person you spoke with at the venue, and their answer to this specific question, How did you become involved with this place/event/organization etc.?
• Briefly describe the general setting by talking a bit about the location, the number of people there, the general overall “vibe” of the place. 
• Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, costumes or lighting, a particular vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed or affected you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation.
• Identify and use at least two tools that you have learned about in this class to talk about your visit. For example, if you visit a museum, you might point out how color works in one of the paintings, or if you go to a concert, how rhythm works in one of the songs. Make sure you are explicit in identifying the tools you are using and the learning resources your tools come from. Make sure to inform the reader about the tool through a quote or paraphrase from the learning resource. Then, make sure to tell the reader how you interpret some elements of your visit with the tools. 
• Be sure to cite the learning resources you have used in MLA format. Please see 
• Reflect on the relevance--if any–of your experience to your everyday life.  How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture, and/or about yourself?
