4 Visual Narrative Stories 9/22

I watched all four of the links posted under course documents. I was most impressed with the boy who made a movie about passing english class in the fourth grade. I liked how he did not have real pictures or videos at the beginning so he acted them out. I'm not sure if I have enough pictures for certain parts of my project so it helped a lot to see someone else make the best out of the situation. I think his paper was well written and his movie came out good. I also hate reading more than anything. I always seem to get extremely bored and fall asleep in my book. He proves that reading can really help, and it allowed him to become successful throughout his academic career.

Visual Literacy Narrative

I am going to do my assignment on becoming the captain of my high school softball team. Softball is my favorite sport and I love to play. I started when I was about nine, so I have a good amount of pictures that have collected over the years. I will probably start off by showing my photos from a youth league, then travel, then high school. I am going to use movie maker because it is something new to me. I think it would be more interesting to display my story throughout a movie instead of just making a poster or a powerpoint. Softball is a huge part of my life and I am excited to share it with the class!
