Class February 8

Well - we DIDN'T make a complete list of who wanted to review which text from the ELC Vol 1 - because it wasn't available all weekend. Hopefully you were able to link from my blog to browse TJD.

I have Wednesday marked as the date for making decisions about which text you want to review - but at this point it seems like we should wait to Monday. So far - Ryan has spoken up for NOI, Sam is probably going to go with Little Red Ridinghood - and Nic is interested in the interactive pieces = Galatea, All Roads, and Savoir-Faire - though he has not made a commitment.

We spent most of the class talking about TJD. I talked about antecedents in Film and Literature (see my post) and worked through a reading of the text as writing about itself and you (the reader) and your experience of reading. So - ok - it doesn't work 100% but there are some sections of the text where that is definitely what is going on. Check out screen 402 for the list of scenes (not that it will do you all that much good), mess around with right clicking and "playing" and "rewinding" the text. See if you can figure out any more layers to this text and we will pick up the discussion on Wednesday.

We spent the last part of class brainstorming "structures" that might go with your ideas for a hypertext project.

Blog 4: Post some brainstorming for the thematic / conceptual focus for your hypertext.

In class you will do some experimenting with using google.sites to create hypertext.
