Student Choice: 500 words or 5-minute video. You author content that includes a title, category, and a reflection about your experiences in this class. Consider specific assignments, specific readings/films, specific conversations, and/or specific processes that helped you learn and grow. This blog is a continuation of the blog, "Lets Talk!" Part One, as I am continuing to talk about the gameshow. The first game can be found in part one, linked above. In this blog, I am writing about the second game. In our groups, we had to piece together a writing called "The Art of Memoir", by Mary Karr. The pages were cut in half, and we had to find the other half to each page, and put them in order from the first page to the last page. To put the pages together, you just had to read a little and to see where the flow would be. By the flow, I mean how the words works with each other, as well as when she would talk about what she did. Mary Karr wrote about the three truths that she heard from every mouth. "(1) Writing is painful—it’s “fun” only for novices, the very young, and hacks; (2) other than a few instances of luck, good work only comes through revision; (3) the best revisers often have reading habits that stretch back before the current age, which lends them a sense of history and raises their standards for quality." The most important thing within those truths, is reflection. Reflection is the main point of the piece, yet she does go into other points. This game was fun and challenging, as it made you put together "puzzle pieces", but you also had to read to understand where they went. Using clues, you could easily put them together. Below I will be providing pictures of the writing put together.
