Write Your Own Apology for the Newspaper insert
Research suggests that a comprehensive apology includes the following: remorse, acceptance of responsibility, admission of wrongdoing, acknowledgment of harm, promise of future behavior improvement, and offers of repair. Many public [and interpersonal] apologies fall short of these ideals. When writing your own apology, you might consider including these components. Email your own apology to weirdallankaprow@gmail.com by 8pm to get it included in the insert that we’ll be printing onsite tonight. You can use the computers by the yeti wall.
Pull a Letterpress Print
We’ve compiled a guide for making a good apology in letterpress type. Head over to the type to pull your own copy of the poster. On the back is our screen print of the saddest, most apologetic puppy. (your welcome!)
