Blog 12: Project Progress

I’m feeling a lot less stressed now than I was this time last week. I got a lot accomplished over the weekend for both this class and my other grad class, so now it’s just a matter of final revisions, putting everything together, and writing final reflections.

For this class, my draft of my story is done, as well as my 3 sentence bio. I’ve created the website shell, and everyone has editing access. I started making some basic edits to Ariel’s page so that everyone could get an idea of what we can add, how we can format, etc. I input my remixed story in a text box, but will still make final edits. I also added a YouTube video of instrumental tracks from The Little Mermaid that people can play in the background while people read the story.

3-Sentence Bio: Theresa Chuntz is a high school English teacher by day and grad student by night, but she’s a bookworm 24/7. She loves creative writing and hopes to publish a novel one day. This is her first collaborative publication, and she has thoroughly enjoyed the process.

I’m looking forward to class tonight and getting the bulk of our project put together. (And snacks. I’m always looking forward to snacks!)

Now if only I could master Ariel’s iconic hair flip…

Session 12: Final Project Update

Hello everyone! My part of our class’s final project, a remix of Disney princesses, is coming along well. As you all know, I’m doing a remix of Rapunzel’s story. I’ve completed the whole story by now and am doing some editing work on it. Aside from that, I’ve also made up a draft of my author bio. All that I have left to do for my personal part of the project is finalizing the story, finishing the moldboard (which I’m going to work on in class tomorrow), and doing my self-assessment narrative. As far as the project as a whole goes, I’m going to help out tomorrow as we all do our author statement, I will help with anything else that needs to be done (such as proofreading), and Giselle and I will work on the front-page visual. I’m glad that everything is wrapping up for the semester and that I’m almost done! I hope everyone is in similar states and that they’re not getting too overwhelmed. Just know that the end is in sight 🙂
