I think my Multigenre Literacy Autobiography went well. I defintely would have put more music into my presentation if I were able to download more songs. My favorite part of my autobiography was the early years. I enjoyed looking back on my past and seeing the different literacies that impacted my life. I liked how it turned out, it did not look as cluttered as the later years. I was trying to have as little slides as possible.
Maralee Bradley's Autobiography spoke to me the most because she talked about how all the literacies in her life helped form her to become who she is. I know that we had a few similarities when it came to our different literacies that we enjoyed growing up.
The benefits of this assignment help students have fun learning about themselves and also the different type of literacies that are out there. I know I never really thought about fashion and pieces of art as literacies. I think a drawback to this assignment might be that it can be too time consuming. I believe we only went through like 5 presentation in an hour and a half. I think it would take me 2 weeks to get through a high school classroom's presentations.
I will be honest, I really don't know how I am going to use clips/images in my future students writing or creation of digital literature. I hope to learn more about this topic because I know I need help with it. I feel like my mind is stuck in the traditional English classroom, rather than the mondern, multi-modal English classroom.
**I tried uploading my autobiography into this blog entry, but it did not work on video and picture or hyperlink. When I figure it out, I will for sure post my autobiography for all to see. **

I enjoyed your autobiography. I loved seeing the different books and music that influenced you. I am big into musicals as well so I loved seeing your different selections. My favorite part of mine was also the younger years because it was fun to reflect upon our childhood. I agree that it may be difficult to know how to use media in the classroom, especially because the media is constantly changing. I think we can see how media shaped us and how our teachers used media to build off of that for our future classrooms.. Great job on your presentation!
