I actually rather enjoyed the textual media experiment! I say “actually” because at first I was not sure how I felt about having to create one of the things that I had struggled so much with understanding. There was a lot of thought process and a lot of kicking around random ideas.<\/p>\n
Things I would keep the same:<\/p>\n
* Assigning several weeks in advanced to allow for time to wonder, get lost, formulate a plan, get lost and reformulate said plan (annnnddd… repeat.)<\/p>\n
* Leaving the assignment open for interpretation.. after all, EL is all interpretation! Allowing students to do whatever topic through whatever media is a big plus to NOT becoming overwhelmed with the assignment. It allows for us to use any avenue of creation we want.<\/p>\n
* Even though it obviously wont be done for the first time again, obviously, I like when a professor allows for input before assigning a big project.<\/p>\n
Things I would possibly change:<\/p>\n
* Maybe create some sort of checkpoint halfway through just to see where students stand, even if its just a blog explaining the brainstorming process thus far.<\/p>\n
