Project 2: Video Literacy Narrative: Links

Project 2 is a literacy narrative, a 2- to 3-minute multimodal story that describes how you learned to read, write, and/or compose in your favorite communicative mode. The topic is up to you. Project 2 details…

Software

Your finished product will be a video uploaded to YouTube. How you create the video is up to you, and you may use whatever software application makes the most sense for your project. The website Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling (College of Education, University of Houston)provides a list of several relevant applications that can be used for this project:

Where to Find (And How to Use) Multimedia Assets (images, audio, video)

You might choose to create all of the images, audio, and video for your narrative. Or you may choose to incorporate multimedia assets you've found online. For more information about how to ethically (and legally) use the work of others, consult the course "Intellectual Property" page.

Literacy narrative examples from around the Web

Do not conclude that because I am sharing these examples I must think that all of them are perfect. They are not. Rather, I am sharing them because they give us an opportunity to talk about the different design and rhetorical choices – both good and bad – that their creators made.

As you watch them, make some notes about what is done well and what could be done better. Be prepared to discuss in class.
