Engaging Question

To kick off our class, let me pose a question:
"If you were tasked with creating a brand-new magazine, what would its theme be and why?"

1. Think Freely: Take a moment to ponder. Your magazine could focus on anything from environmental issues, contemporary art, personal stories, to cutting-edge technology.
2. Pair Up: Find a partner and discuss your ideas. What makes your theme unique? How could it engage an audience?
