Today, we will try again to have a chat about our reading from Tuesday. Here are a couple of prompts we will use:
- What about the inside/outside dichotomy for writing?
- What are the new genres and how do they relate to "writing?"
- What does the rise of the novel include that is social? How related to rise of the video? etc?
- What about tech optimism?
- What can we say about the decline of the humanities? And about English (in light of all the "writing" outside of school)?
- Screen literacy: what is it?
- What would you design as a curriculum for composing?
- How will transfer shape your video report?
- Have you ever thought about the interface of the page?
Next, I will review the process of getting phone footage into RUSH. This video shows how:
We will also quickly discuss our storyboards and scripts.
We will use the rest of the time to work on our projects.
For homework, complete this reading assignment and work on your video report.
