Response to Course Material #4
This past week was spent creating a Prezi on a designated era, my group did Modernism and Post- Modernism. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed doing this, not only did we get to focus on the ever important history and contextual information, we also got to learn how to use the handy, fun-to-use, and dandy Prezi. (excuse the word play, got a little carried away)This project re-familiarized many of us with the literary eras that we briefly touched on before in other classes, which will further help us draw our own conclusions and connections. I personally took the assignment as an excuse to discover and learn about anything and everything modernistic and post modernistic, quickly reaffirming that it is in fact my favorite literary era. This was also a FANTASTIC thing to be doing the week before thanksgiving with just about one or two quizzes and/or tests in every other class. It was relaxing and fun without being unproductive but heavily rewarding at the same time. As a matter of fact I decided to read books my some of the authors I group featured including Vonnegut and Fitzgerald.

I love your enthusiasm about the project, your energy makes the reader smile :) I completely agree that it was a good idea for the week before break. I’m glad you wanted to read more after the presentations, I know I definitely did too.
ReplyDeleteThe sappiness of the words made me laugh. It is use of comedic techniques as these that strengthens our memories; it's worth mentioning. I generally had the same position on the literary eras presentations, and took it as an opportunity to touch up and revitalize my past knowledge to compliment a new reading schedule that incorporates all of them.
ReplyDeleteOther than that it seems you have given a very detailed description of your mental activity in the class for the recent history, however, if looking to improve, perhaps you could think about including all history up from the last course materials blog entry.
I enjoyed the wordplay! I agree that it was a nice project to do in that we could relax a bit but still get a cool presentation done.
