Thlog W8

This week was about getting started on our WP3. Both the reading from Monday at first seems okay, but upon beginning to work on my WP3 draft I realized how useful they were. The first reading really help me to decide how I should present my two transformations, while the second got me thinking more about the specifics for each transformation.

              In first lecture we went back to genres, because that was main point of PB3A, finding the two genres we’d want to work with. I personally had already thought about the first one the night before when reading through my journal—a short story for children. For this reason, Monday’s lecture was helpful because we talked about the convention of children’s books. Monday’s lecture was about getting a feel for what we would want to do and I thought it did a good job at getting us to think how we would each approach these transformations.

              Now on Wednesday we did a lot of summarizing. I think we did this because it was a way for us to learn the difference between summarizing something and analysis said thing. We also went over many of the ideas introduced form Monday’s reading, a good reminder for what we should keep in mind when writing the two distinct genres.

              Reading the comments left on PB3A were very helpful. At first I was thinking about writing a contract for my older audience, but then I decided that a syllabus would work better within the context that I had in mind.
