I feel like this activity really helped me to understand my audience when I’m writing. Going from turning my pros into a comic, I had to really consider how someone who doesn’t know my story would interpret the images I was creating. This then leads me to realize that I do in fact need to […]

Since birth, my writing has been “controversial.” One of my earliest memories of writing is when I was told that I “shouldn’t do it that way.” Unlike the conventional method of holding a pencil—using the tips of one’s middle and index fingers, with the thumb for balance—I would balance the body of the pencil on […]

The entire literacy narrative assignment process has helped me understand a couple of the learning outcomes greatly. Firstly, composing texts in multiple mediums. The first literacy narrative felt like a somewhat traditional essay. The second one was a complete comic interpretation of the first, and the third felt like something in between, almost a comic […]

The entire process of writing my Literacy Narrative most resonated with the learning outcome that writing is a process. It was only though countless changes to my initial Literacy narrative, in which I had to almost completely re-do the structure of the narrative apart from a few key elements, that I was able to create […]

During the comic creation process, it was interesting to consider […]

Looking back on everything I’ve done for this literacy narrative project, I have undoubtedly worked towards many of this course’s learning outcomes. The first that comes to mind for me is understanding learning as a process. For the first and third parts of this project, I spent much more time revising and drafting than I […]

For this Sunday sketch, I decided to take a look at a week in my life to see how participating in different physical activities and the meals that I had made me feel energy-wise at the end of the day. Tracking this data has given me insight into how my choices regarding exercise and meals […]

The drawing component of this assignment made the process more enjoyable and helped clarify the message of my initial draft. Adding a visual representation to my alphabetical narrative helped me identify the most essential parts of my story and recognize which elements were unnecessary.  Although the comic has fewer words than the initial narrative, it […]

I think the Literacy Narrative Process helped me a lot in achieving the learning outcomes for class. I composed texts in multiple genres and styles. Making an alphabetic narrative and then turning that into a comic is something I have never done before, but it was an effective way for me to compose texts in […]
