Observe: In this prezi The group did not only use quotes from the chapter that their presentation is about but also some of their own ideas. The group also used a couple of videos and pictures to aid the argument that they formed in the text. From each statement to the next there is a logical order in which the audience can follow and they will not get lost among random ideas. However even though there is a connection in thought from each point to the next there is not a connection in the orientation of each statement.
Analyze: I think the groups main point was that writing does not need to have one specific structure, but it can be turned and altered to fit each individual writers ideas and form. I think that this point was very strong with things that they did such as the video in which print was reversed as well as the point that was written backwards. I thought that the presentation also showed well the new forms available to us now with computers and pictures. Overall I think the presentation was very clear and well structured… or well not structured whichever the group would prefer.
Question:
Although we do not have just one way of writing anymore do you think that having one structured way has its benefits?
Do you think that experimenting with the structure in which we write will make our writing to confusing and we will lose our points?
Is it possible that with too many forms of writing it will be unclear as to how to read?
Will we keep a similar structure as to what we have now, or will we create something entirely new?
Do we experiment with these structures because our current one is not good enough?
Do you ever think we will settle on just one form of writing?
#6 No, I don't think we will ever settle for one, dominant form of writing. There will always be room for improvement and evolution. For a long time we thought print was as prestigious a format as we could get, but now digital texts are taking away its spotlight; who knows what form of writing lies beyond our current electronic age?
