For seminar, Meredith asked us to choose a community and create a 25-slide presentation on that community. The guidelines by which we measured community were based on Dori Tunstall’s five characteristics of community:

• Historical Consciousness (people’s understanding of where they came from)
• Life Goals (what matters most to members of the community)
• Organizational Structures (how collective decisions are made and how individuals fit in)
• Relationships (the means through which people gain understanding of common values and establish trust)
• Agency (the degree of an individual’s control or influence over things that matter to the community)

I chose Ficly, an online writing community.
