The Literacy Narrative project has been the most impactful creative writing assignment for me. When beginning Professor Morgen’s class, I knew I would grow as a writer in various components. From utilizing technologies and illustrations to analyzing and evaluating student and teacher feedback, I have realized what it takes to make every piece of writing … Continue reading Impactful Learning and Writing →

I strongly believe that my Literacy Narrative Project has allowed me to meet the Learning Outcomes for this class. I have composed both written and digital texts. I have been able to analyze and evaluate other students’ works in order to make improvements on my own. By working together in groups to peer review our… Continue reading Literacy Narrative, Part 3 Reflection

Philippe Squarzoni uses a LOT of repetitive imagery to further his narrative in Climate Changed. However, I chose to map out the “consumer robot” (aka the scary robot man made out of fossil fuels) because it was one of the most potent metaphors for chaos in the book.

The literacy narrative project has helped me meet the learning outcomes of this class through allowing me to compose texts in multiple genres such as writing and drawing.

When I initially read the book, I was unsure of what the eye meant and I questioned its purpose. However, after I completed […]

My final version of my literacy narrative is almost completely different than my first attempt at writing it. After finishing my comic, I noticed ideas that I included when I was drawing that I didn’t notice when I was writing the first draft of the literacy narrative. After having my conference, it was suggested to … Continue reading Literacy Narrative 3 Reflection →

I really enjoyed making my literacy narrative, but I’m definitely uncomfortable with writing in a comic medium. If someone asked me about my project, I would definitely feel more comfortable to show them my written essay than my comic, but that is due to less than stellar artistic abilities. I think my comic really represents […]

Before completing the literary narrative project, I didn’t realize the importance of the writing process. Of course going through the normal procedure of a pre writing, draft and final was habitual, but I never revisited a piece to edit it after finalizing. I came to conclusion that no writing is ever final. Over the course … Continue reading Literacy Narrative Part 3: My Journey as a Reader →
