WORLD LITERATURE Why study it? What can be gained from studying other
cultures? Why is it important to expose ourselves
to other authors, cultures, countries, and groups of people?
How has traveling changed you? Where will the world take you?

YOU ARE INTERNS! Think of this class as an INTERNSHIP.
You will be collaborating with peers to complete authentic tasks (projects).
THIS IS A WORKING RELATIONSHIP. You won’t always like your classmates or coworkers, but you have to work together.
![Page 5: Welcome to English Class!](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814f4c550346895dbcf057/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why Interns? In real life, people apply what they learned in
school to authentic tasks on the job; however, they must receive on-site training first to truly understand their jobs’ responsibilities.
College students must complete internships, before they’re ready to enter the work force.
