American author Annie Dillard has written: “There is something you find interesting, for a reason hard to explain. It is hard to explain because you have never read it on any page; there you begin.” What subjects interest you? What questions do you have about those subjects? Choose a question you don’t have an answer to, and use three different ways to explore your subject. (Six are described in section 1b.) Use the space below. Which of these methods seems most productive for you? Why? Respond below.
