The literacy narrative project was a very long and extinsive project which added good and bad aspects to the project as a whole.
While writing the first draft of the traditional narrative I was frusterated and overwhelmed. I did not know what it was that I was supposed to write about or what it was that I felt about my literacies. After recieving feedback on the narrative and re-working my though process for the digital remix I was able to create a more focused and worthwhile general idea. For me the initial creation of the digital remix was just as frusterating as the traditional narrative. I was very opposed to the idea of using less standard and more creative modes of communication. I also felt like I did not have a clear sense of what was expected of me. Much to my suprise I had the easiest time working on the creative aspect. I did not think I would like it at all, but I actually enjoyed working on it. I wrote a children's short story and thoroughly enjoyed the process. However, I still felt like I was unclear about what was expected of me.
While working on the final copies of the traditional narrative, digital remix, and creative piece I had a much more enjoyable time. I felt like I had a much better sense of what I wanted to convey to my audience, and also what was expected of me.
Overall, I enjoyed that I was able to re-write and re-work each aspect of the project. However, I found the first time through of each aspect to be frusterating because I did not have a clear sense of what was expected of me or what the boundries of the assingment were.
Also, it seemed to me that the project focused on literacy for several weeks which did not seem to be that central of a course theme/theme of the WC.
