Read and Discuss

Read zines for two minutes and then pass them. Discuss:

  • What does the zine say about its creator--directly or indirectly?
  • Why do you think they chose a zine as their medium?
  • Are there graphics in the zine? Handwriting? Collages? Do they complement or complicate the text? (Think about the Piepmeier reading)
  • How does the zine make you feel?

Group show & tell.
