Literacy Timeline
When I begin
my timeline, the story begins with my birth. During the timeline, I don’t have
a hard time remembering details, but it is hard to get everything on paper,
because it is too much memory in my mind, I don’t even know where to start off.
There are
some interesting things I found when I was composing my timeline, I want to
found more details in my memory, so I checked the previous photo, I would
understand the passage of time will indeed bring a little change. When I look
at my photos, I remember great memories, something happy, something sad. But it
now seems that all good. I think it is the most interesting thing when I was
composing my timeline.
I notice a
theme throughout my timeline. Actually I did not focus on one thing, in my
timeline, I write about I like to play piano and I like read book. And I write more
details about how to study and I share experience about I overcome
difficulties. When I was write this paper, I choose focus on my study
experience in my school life. It is not easy to pick one experience, we will
have many problems when we study, and we need to solve them by myself. It is
hard to choose which one is the most representative.
The experience
of creating a timeline told me that I love read books, I love music and I know
how to find my mistake, than overcome difficulties.
Literacy Narrative
I focus on
my middle school for my writing narrative. There are many idea jump out at me,
the only way I can do is focus on middle school life. If I write many thing
about high school or now, I get so distracted than make this paper within
logic.
I write an
outlet when I was began to write my narrative, it is much easy for me to organize
my story. It isn’t read chronologically, it is almost like a memory part. It is
not very difficult to organize my thoughts into my draft. After peer review, my
partner gives me some suggest. I write more details in my first paragraph and
also conclusion. My partner gave me a big help, he helps me to modify syntax
for me and he also help me to correct spelling mistakes.
When I made
the final edits to my narrative, I am already to turn the story into a video
slideshow. It is change my normally write a story. I will pay attention to chronological
order and clearly distinguishing between primary and secondary.
Animoto Slideshow
I didn’t choose
the sentences which is my partner choose, because I didn’t write more details
about myself in the first draft. I choose the sentences after I edit the draft
and I also add some sentences which no appearance in my essay.
I found it
is difficult to edit my text down for the 52-character limit per slide. I have
to cut short the sentence, and reorganize new sentence. Sometimes, I just write
the keyword.
When I write
a little story, I will put some images, some images is about theme and some
images is transition. I uses as complimentary to my text. For example, I talk
about the first book that I read, than I put the picture of the book. I choose
the photos in my video, I think it is much easy to make people understand.
Combine pictures
and text was made my video more interesting and more intuitive. These photos are
mostly personal. When I begin a story or end a story, I will put some photos
between the next story. Also I will put
some photos in one story. These photos help me make my video funny.
I didn’t
choose any song for my video, because I forget. When I realized it, it is too
late. And fortunately, the style which I choose it is quite for my slideshow. The
music is relaxed and sweet.
If I’ve had
a chance to reflect, I would choose a song in my slideshow, I would put two
more photos and write more text about memory. I didn’t choose a song for my
video has become my most regrettable thing in this project.
