Cultural Connections Discussion Board

First Week Engagement: Your Connection

Choose ONE of the following prompts to respond to:

• Share a story from your own cultural tradition that deals with themes we find in tragedy (family, justice, fate, morality)
• Describe a performance, adaptation, or retelling of a classical story that resonated with you (or that you disagreed with)
• Reflect on how your own cultural background might influence how you approach these ancient texts

Your initial post should be 300-400 words. Later, you'll read and respond to your classmates' posts.
