Last in class workday!

What I Did: Today I finished my Remix and created my presentation! Why I Did it: I fixed the layout of my remix project project because it was a little hard to read. I chose Google slides as my presentation tool because I already had my story in a Google slides presentation. I think it […]

In class work day

Revision Plan

Today we had a peer review day, and my partners really helped me figure out some options for the format of my project. I have all of the basic elements, but the Google Slides presentation doesn’t do my project justice. My partners suggested I try creating a site on my blog so that the updates […]

I like the documentation example about music […]

Mock-ups and Storyboards

What I did: Today I made an outline for the entire project. I also finished creating the tweets for the princess and I started and finished creating the tweets for the prince. Why I did it: I wanted to have the tweets finished because they are the basis of the project; they tell the original story. […]

Planning out my Remix

What I Did: So far, I have started making fake tweets for my princess and planning out the story. Why I Did It: I just wanted to test out the fake tweet websites, and I really like them, so I think I’m going to keep creating tweets until my story is complete. Mock-up or Storyboard […]

Informal Proposal

A remix can take parts of other stories, like characters, and use them in the re-telling, but the basic elements of the original story must remain intact enough for a reader to […]
