icebreaker discussion: room with a view
Please complete those two parts.
1. aThis is an exercise to find commonalities with others in our online course. There are no right or wrong answers, of course.
Post a new thread in the forum, Room with a View. To add a thread, click on the ICEBREAKER Discussion: Room With a View. What should be included in the thread? First, describe (in vivid detail) the view from your favorite window. Weave some autobiographical information into your view. For example, Im looking over our pool where my brother learned to swim this weekend. It also overlooks a beach. When we lived in Arizona we dreamed about living by water and now that we are here in California that has become a reality.”
