Students can use this when they are doing a project in art class or even writing a paper in English class. Because students often focus on the task at hand, they tend to think very black and white. By using transmediation, students are able to better revise papers they have written (Batchelor, 2018).  ]]> 2020-11-09 20:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906067731 oakstj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906093934 Tanner Oaks Using art can help students to be more confident and more creative. It can also help to improve the cognitive skills of developing students. While these are some huge upsides, there is one downside that can be found. Money. Funding is typically allocated to subjects like math and science. By incorporating transmediation in classes like math and English, students get the opportunity to use some form of art to express what they are working on. Later, they can transmediate their work again and improve their original text. (Batchelor, 2018).]]> 2020-11-09 20:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906093934 oakstj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906226959 Tanner Oaks Frank Smith talks about the myths of writing, his list contains a total of 13 myths. By reading this text, one is able to gain a better understanding of the misconceptions behind the writing process. This allows for better growth from students. Here are another 13 myths and misconceptions that will help one to better understanding the writing process.]]> 2020-11-09 21:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906226959 hammeraa https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906659118 Allison Hammerle
Frank Smith talks a lot about myths and It intrigued me to try to find more myths on the internet! I like the one in this article that says “Great writers are born, not made.” This is far from true, to be good at writing it takes practice and dedication. There is also another one that says you need a degree in literature to be a great writer. Again, this is far from true. I personally really liked Smith's myths that he wrote about. ]]> 2020-11-10 01:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906659118 hammeraa https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906669222 Allison Hammerle
Smith's reading was all about writing and my quote for the reading was “Writing is often hard work; it requires concentration, physical effort, and a tolerance for frustration and disappointment” (Smith, 1981, p.29). This article gives great tips on how to not get frustrated when writing. My favorite tip is to accept your feelings and recognize that you're having them. ]]> 2020-11-10 01:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906669222 hammeraa https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906678958 Allison Hammerle 
This word colleague shows all the different ways that a student can do multiliteracies. My quote this week from Bachelors reading is “When Students are able to work within a multiliteracies framework, they are more apt to express themselves via intelligence, artistic talent, and imagination. Thus, this framework allows students to see themselves as intelligent and imaginative” (Batchelor, 2018, p.137). There are so many different ways that students can express what they’ve learned.

Bachelors article talked a lot about how important it is to revise! I have always been confused between the difference between revise and edit. I found this image that helps make more sense of what each are. We often forget how important it is to revise after we are done writing, but it's all really cool that we are always revising when we are writing. Batchelor explained in her article about how important it is to revise. ]]> 2020-11-10 01:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906687355 hammeraa https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906699087 Allison Hammerle 
Batchelor emphasized how important it is to revise. Another thing to remember as future teachers is how important it is to teach revising. Revising is an important part of the writing process. Revising lets students realize their mistakes and be able to tell when they made a mistake. When teachers teach about revising they are teaching so much about writing that will impact their students future.

Bachelors article shows the importance and benefits of transmediation and multimodality, but in this article a teacher presents art to their students which brings up questions and leads to further exploration and possibilities of expressing their thoughts. It shares the building blocks within writing and how students can use art to imagine, interpret, and create more.]]> 2020-11-10 01:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906769903 frymanmj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906780959 Maggie Fryman
When reading about writing and Smiths myths, I think about how writing has many rules associated and I found this image. I know that when I had to write in school it was mandatory  which made me get flustered and not really explore the potentials I had. The question "Why haven't you written?" just makes me think of those moments and the feeling that it had to be perfect when really writing is changeable, exploratory and so much more. Like Smith's myths say: #4 writing is permanent, speech ephemeral and #14 writing should be right the first time. Both of these are things i thought but really are myths.]]> 2020-11-10 02:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906780959 oakstj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906798035 Tanner Oaks Dr. Batchelor makes it extremely evident that revising is important. Revising allows for the opportunity to fix any errors in the writing as well as expand upon ideas inside of the text. By using these 17 revision strategies, you will have a great starting place for future revision needs.]]> 2020-11-10 02:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906798035 oakstj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906813174 Tanner Oaks Revising is an important part of writing, but what is it? To revise means to read over. This allows for a fresh look at the piece that one has created. From here, people can then choose to edit, which is a totally separate process, though they often get lumped together. By revising and editing, students get the opportunity to improve upon a work that they have started.]]> 2020-11-10 02:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906813174 frymanmj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906826774 Maggie Fryman
So we read about writing and know that bringing in the topic of transmedia will be a benefit to students writing. But as I was looking into online sources, I found this TedTalk about Transmedia Storytelling. Storytelling and writing to me  go hand-in-hand, but Raybourn follows the idea of storytelling and it had much benefits. I really like her saying "learners today have all kinds of options" (4:05). We have so many possibilities to teach students and when writing there is so much possibility.]]> 2020-11-10 02:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906826774 frymanmj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906838839 Maggie Fryman
Here is a piece that discusses many writing choices in the education system and that changes that can benefit students writing. In parallel to our readings, they discuss having to sit at a desk, being taught over and over grammatical structures and forms, writing being linear, good writing posture and much more. But these are all some myths and rather using free/choice writing, multimedia, and being child-centered are of benefit. Using these ideas will make students want to write, enjoy it, and become better writers.]]> 2020-11-10 02:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906838839 frymanmj https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906862686 Maggie Fryman
When writing there is often a general path you take, but as we hear from Smith it is not and will not be linear. Batchelor also brings up revision because not only can it help further the writing but it can bring up new ideas or questions or possibilities for writing. When someone is to write something, they cannot think of it as being linear like in this diagram. I often see steps go from one to the nest but in the drafting it is circular as the writer may keep changing things. This is not a perfect example of the writing process because who is to say what is should look like, but arrows move in both directions showing the fluidity within the process.]]> 2020-11-10 02:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906862686 imhofftw https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906934243 Tyler Imhoff
I like how in Smith's piece it talked about how writing can be a very physical act. I know for me personally writing for long periods of time can be exhausting. I always feel the need to move around when writing and it's hard for me to completely sit still. This article below talks about how writing can be physically and mentally tiring. ]]> 2020-11-10 03:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906934243 imhofftw https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906938272 Tyler Imhoff
I know for me personally I have difficulty with revising my papers. I usually don't write a rough draft unless it's required by the teacher and I'm the only one who ends up reading my paper looking for errors and ways to improve my writing. This is obviously a very bad idea and is not sustainable. The document below delves into why and how you should revise your papers.]]> 2020-11-10 03:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906938272 imhofftw https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906943305 Tyler Imhoff
One of the things I really enjoyed about reading the Batchelor article was how the students were able to look at their stories in a new way when they created their art pieces. Being able to look at your writing in a different way especially in a more physical way is a very interesting idea to me. ]]> 2020-11-10 03:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906943305 imhofftw https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906951253 Tyler Imhoff
Students need to have the ability to create their own stories. I know for me personally I have missed creative writing. Ever since coming to Miami I haven't been given opportunities to write my own fiction stories. Instead it has been research paper after research paper. I miss having that time in class to be able to escape to another world that I created in my head.]]> 2020-11-10 03:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906951253 imhofftw https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906956320 Tyler Imhoff
One of the points Smith brings up in his article is how not everyone writes the same. Everyone has their own process for how they write, when they write, and how they critique their writing. It's important to reflect with yourself on what your writing style is and then ask yourself what can I do to improve my writing style for the better.]]> 2020-11-10 03:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/imhofftw/orexxsnp77sr0yyz/wish/906956320
