IT FEELS SO NICE BEING DONE WITH WP2. I don't know why but I had an especially hard time with this wp. I sat in the library for 8 straight hours one day just working on it and trying to come up with ideas and trying to make the paragraphs flow nicely but after those 8 hours, I still felt like I had made no progress. BUT it all worked out eventually so all is good!!
I think my favorite part of Monday's class was watching the Bob Ross videos and the Disney painters video. The Bob Ross videos were of course funnier and more entertaining to watch, but all of the videos helped me see the moves and the rhetorical decisions that all of the artists made. It was also nice watching something where the moves being made were also narrated because before these videos, the only 'moves' videos that we had watched were ones where we had to determine the moves on our own, but in these videos, with the narration, it was easier to see what the moves were as they were being made.
I also really liked watching the video of the story Everybody Poops. It was interesting seeing how different the story could be presented on the video versus on a physical book because the animations were more lively and there was movement between some of the objects and and camera often zoomed into specific objects or characters that were important. I did think though that the Morgan Freeman reading of the story was kinda interesting (kinda weird) and that it just completely changed the story.
Anyways, i have to say I'm kind of excited to work on WP3. I feel like this is going to really show me if I have learned or how much I have learned from this class. I already have some ideas for what I want to do for both the younger audience and older audience transformation and I am excited to pitch my ideas in my PB3A and to hear feedback from everyone.
