2. Would you or how would you emphasize for your students the intertextuality of all texts Roozen discusses beginning on page 44 of the Naming What We Know excerpts? Would it depend on what discipline you discuss (for instance, a news article compared with a scientific study)?

QQC 7/25/17
1. I don’t know about your internship, but my class
just began working on their project in three genres (that’s less than two weeks
of work!). Compare this to the Teacher’s
Guide which contains threads allowing students a month to focus on the
project. Also consider Shipka, who
discusses that we might not always expect students to think outside of the box
when it comes to these types of projects.
(So they might not do a video, which takes time for planning, creating,
and knowledge of how to make and edit a video).
I apologize for all of this context!
How would the different time frames alter your expectations for the different
genres students work in?

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteTomorrow the instructor of my internship is introducing project 3. It seems like no time at all. Especially if they want to revise project 1 or 2 before the final portfolio is due. I think with so little time I couldn't expect students to be very far outside the box in the sense of multi-modal approaches. Rather, I would expect them subvert and remix traditional print genres without requiring a complex digital component.
1. My class has not yet started project 3 but are wrapping up project 2. The summer session makes it even harder to allow time for more creative, multi-modal projects. I think it is unfortunate, but as far as expectations, certain, more creative and involved projects might not be realistic to expect when the turn around time is so short.
ReplyDelete2. Ah, page 44. The blurriest page of the pdf. Anyway, I definitely would want to emphasize intertextuality in the classroom. I believe it goes hand-in-hand with genres/genre bending and the historical, interconnectedness of our media. Even something as seemingly disparate as a scientific study and news article are constantly informing each other. This includes what studies are performed according to reported events. There is also the issue with many articles overgeneralizing scientific studies ("Chocolate: a Cure for Cancer?").
