Streetview

Streetview, walking and taking pictures. Nice way to learn to watch where you walk. Take pictures while your are walking around. Put the pictures together, and tell the story. (The story could be fictional or factional, a short story or a 400-pager) Write down something about the process of taking pictures and thinking about the story. Some people may not take pictures of the street, the stones, but of the surroundings, or people, or letters, or … Some people prefer walking inside a building. Tools: camera Olympus pen 14-42 mm lens. (any camera will do) photo software Gimp, resize all… Read more »

Hack this journal

We’ve been discussing in the CLMOOC how the making we are doing connects to our writing process. I found a journal at a bookstore called “wreck this journal” and each page has a prompt for the person to do something on each page, whether it is taking the journal in the shower one day or drawing something. The idea is that every day is something creative, but also a little destructive, to make the journal the person’s own. In connection with our CLMOOC and hack cycle, I thought it would be a great collaborative make to remix this and call… Read more »

Make a zine

A “zine” is an inexpensively made publication that is then distributed to a small group of people. It is often black and white and reproduced on a copy machine. At Borderlands Writing Project, we are producing a zine about our memories of childhood reading. Each of is going to produce one page. Below is my page. I’ll post the final product when it is done. What ideas do you have for zines? Do you have examples of zines that you’ve made that you can share? If so, please post below in the examples.

This I Believe

Based on the popular NPR radio series, make a multi-modal “This I Believe” text that illustrates a strongly held belief. Your “belief” should be fresh and interesting, complex and unexpected. It should make your audience think deeply and differently about the topic you have chosen to explore. You’ll want to carefully consider your audience(s), your purpose(s), strategies, and the medium of your final product– will you produce a podcast that allows your audience to hear your voice and brings in the cannon of delivery? A photo-essay that blends words and still images? A digital story that includes a voice over and… Read more »

Make a space and process for reflection

On the reflection hangout tonight, we were talking about the importance of reflection and feedback — for teachers and students.That made me think about all the great work that is going on at YouthVoices in this regard. Here are some links: YouthVoices main site YouthVoices guides (including Comments as a Genre and several others about comments) So…the “make” — Make a way for your students to reflect on their making and then to reflect on each other’s reflections and give each other feedback. Think about how you might incorporate some of the Connected Learning principles in this as well.

Where I’m From poem

This is the first homework assignment in my multimedia class. It introduces me to the students and gets them quickly into the kind of work they’ll do for their first project. I love the way it marries creative writing and technology. Write a poem in the style of George Ella Lyon’s “Where I’m From”. Record the poem. Optionally, add a music soundtrack. Post your recording on SoundCloud. Optionally, add an image to the SoundCloud post. Share the SoundCloud posting. For details, resources and an example, click the “Adapted from” link.

Folding a Collaborative Story

Collaboration and surprise is a key component to a successful Folding Story. Essentially, each writer gets only a glimpse of a piece of the story before them, adds their own section, folds the story back up and passes it along to the next person. As each fold happens, the story moves farther away from the original idea and moves into new territory. Folding stories can also be done in online spaces but the old-fashioned paper fold works like magic in the classroom.

News, Views, and You

Students consider the news of interest or concern to them and add to a padlet. They decide on what issue to query with a team by signing up on the padlet. Students create a document of their analysis and views with possible suggestions or solutions, sharing their analysis link back on the padlet. Students also create avatars as signatures to their components. This is a beginning of the year activity to discover common interests, create avatars, and share out.

Toy Box Leadership Video Companion

Pick a chapter that really speaks to you or collaborate with your peers to divide up the chapters. Think about what’s important in the chapter and work to summarize the authors’ thesis (main idea) and key points. What questions, ideas, concerns, or connections does this raise for you?
