I might have to change the name of some the people I mentioned in my literacy narrative, just in case. Also Another round of proofreading assistance is a good idea in order to ensure my paper is grammatical correct. I'm thankful that the ebook is only semi-public, because putting the ebook on the front page of the website seems like a lot of pressure. If our class ebook was on the front page it would stress me out, because tons of people would see it.
I like the idea of adding images to enhance my writing. Some of the pictures that you can see through the writing could have small pictures on the side to support the feelings. Adding pictures will make the writing more alive, because it gives a visual sense. Some examples in my paper would be a peppermint, piece of paper, or thesaurus, because I wrote about eating a peppermint, the edges of paper hitting the side of the desk and flipping through the thesaurus.
Having different fonts and formats throughout the ebook is a good idea, because it gives each piece uniqueness, makes the book casual, and gives the writers freedom. The cover could be a huge Wordle with an significant word from each of our papers. I'm not sure about the title, but someone suggested the title, "We are Number 4" and I was intrigued by it. The design/ layout should be casual, but organized; something exciting. The ebook could have different songs to connect with each paper. Overall the ebook sounds like an enjoyable experience and I look forward to be working on it.
Hey Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI am having similar feelings relating to the concerns about people seeing your work. I feel slightly uncomfortable about everyone seeing who my narrative involves. Also, my narrative is very personal; however, I think it will end up ok. I'm sure our classmates will be understanding and compassionate about the way you feel. I love you ideas and thoughts on the e-book. Casual is best. Making it fancy would draw attention away from the importance of our writing. I also like the idea of adding simple pictures. I write that in my thoughts as well. I hope you find a comfort zone about people seeing your narrative.
Best of luck,
Brooke Dillon
