AAVE Research Repository

Tonight I'm researching AAVE in youtube. I'm posting a few links here for now.

This is a collection of varying views. I don't know where I'm going with this. My intent was to find differing views.

Final Project

I am so torn over the final project that I'm having difficulty. At the beginning of the semester the internment idea seemed so interesting. It's not that I couldn't complete it now, the issue is that I have strong interests in several other areas, such as dialects in composition (including AAVE), and composition pedagogy. I've come up with a simplistic idea to help basic writers learn to develop their writing. So many directions, and so little time to decide. Which way do I turn? Must I stay with the original idea or do I have time to do something different?

Video Sentence and Reading

Ok, the clip below is my video sentence. As for the reading, I read 11, 12, and 13. I found Griffin's table very helpful. Also, I thought the collaborative discussion somewhat helpful, but only somewhat because I had already recognized the extensive benefits of collabortive learning in the classroom. I already knew that those benefits would easily carry over to multi modality composition. Chapter 12 has many practical tips for use and need of technologies utilized for a new media course. Of course our CLIC center will advance TAMU's multimodal capabilities enormously. Chapter 13 stresses the need for the continous availability of technology during class hours as well as outside of the classroom. Also, this last chapter stresses the need for students to learn new modalities in order to be prepared for today's workforce.

Dr. Carter,

Just a note to let you know I wasn't in class last thursday. It was one of those really bad arthritis days (I hate the extreme weather shifts of the spring). I had to resort to my rarely used narcotic prescriptions to get through the day. I really didn't want to drive while taking strong medication. However, I did do the video sentence, I just labeled it wrong!

A Slice of My Life: More Fingerpainting

I couldn't load this in blogger, so I found another route. It's pretty rough, and low resolution. But, it is practice

Is anyone else having difficulty with blogger?

For some reason, I can't comment on my comments or upload video!

This link was sent to me as a joke. However, when I opened the link, I thought it to be a cool and innovate mixture of old and new technology. Check it out!
