EDU #506 As We Are Examinging Different Ways of Questioning Text Structure get Creative in Your #literacies Task #poetryport
Maybe it is
on me
I limited choice
rather than watch
as it drifted through
seas of possibilities
you can interrogate a text
through novel quests
like a comic
which flips through
understandings in dialectical frames
or perhaps Found poems
inference far stronger
of the main idea
Check out how Kevin Hodgson summarized a book in comics
Doing slow-read of Writing Redefined, a new book about expanding notions of #literacies, by @ShawnaCoppola with aim of making response comics as I go (‘cause, you know, why not?). My first comic comes after reading intro by @barryLane in which he tells a story #nwp #clmooc pic.twitter.com/OORlvk1p8w

In thinking on @ShawnaCoppola idea of ‘widening the doorway’ to what we think of as ‘writing’ in the classroom (via Chapter One of her new book Writing Redefined), I thought about a few of my current students ... and made another comic #literacies #clmooc #nwp pic.twitter.com/JB3AloDCAD

References to wordless picture books, which I love, and comics in Writing Redefined by @ShawnaCoppola got me thinking of wordless comics, which I love. I wondered, how might a comic with empty speech bubbles work? So, I tried it, composing with inference in mind. #clmooc pic.twitter.com/7fMJMinzQ2

The issue of font design is mentioned by @ShawnaCoppola in her book, Writing Redefined. I have these discussions all the time with my young writers. I toggle between ‘choose your design’ and ‘get writing already.’ But visual design of their words matters to them. #literacies pic.twitter.com/cV1HC9yjbd

Reading about zines as form of multi-modal composition (paper/digital, text/image) in book by @ShawnaCoppola and I thought about how Tik Tok dance trends are still going strong with girls in my classroom (but boys seem weary)... another comic as reflection ... #clmooc pic.twitter.com/f62VOp3rmo

Taking @ShawnaCoppola up on her invitation in book (p80) to remix her words into blackout poetry ...

Understand: remixing IS composition;
the use of content, composing
writing - demands ideas;
Believe this book:
Try it on poetry#clmooc #poetryport pic.twitter.com/GUiXh5Ugkx
In the last chapter of Writing Redefined, @ShawnaCoppola explores questions and concerns teachers might have about expanding notions of writing. She has very thoughtful responses, which I condensed down here into comic form. #clmooc #literacies #nwp pic.twitter.com/dkHt6XZAr2

Following Kevin's lead I decided to use Found poems as a way to take to notes of a book I am currently reading.
An open life : Joseph Campbell in conversation with Michael Toms
You can find my feed of found poems here: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/02/18/arisediffusionbe-recognized-dietiesamplifiedhumansprinciple-that-deifiescollectiveunconscious
Do ways of representing
start denting
the pool of minutes
yes but the understanding
within us
through slow reading
and remix strengthens
the negotiation of meaning.
