ReplyDeleteI really like doing hand lettering because it is a mix of letters and art. In a personal way, doing it lets me express feelings, thoughts or phrases on paper in a cute way. Also, Lettering has helped me in my academic life, because sometimes when I read a text, I extract keywords or I paraphrase some main idea which I draw in lettering. In this way I can enjoy the reading process and this allows me to appropriate and transform what I learn.
I think that this action is related to multiliteracy in the way that it is a creative activity. I take an available design of meaning (another text or idea) and I design from it in a different mode (typographic, with color, movement, spaces and forms). That is a transformative process, because while I am drawing, I am reflecting on what I am doing, so I am redesigning.
In addition, any artistic activity implies an active role of the creator, and this is a fundamental concept in multiliteracy, because the person becomes a meaning maker through different modalities taking into account the contexts, necessities and abilities of students.
Cami, I agree with you, your creative process to learn is related to literacy because you are defying some of the rudimentary school systems, which are based just on authoritative methods, like memorizing concepts or learning part of a speech. I consider that you are owning your process and you are taking advantage of it to the fullest.
DeleteI love the way you consider lettering as a creative and method of learning. You take advantage of your artistic talent to use it in linguistic contexts where letters are involved, letters which end up become in meaning, meaning that you print and build in a creative and writting process. I want you to give me advices to learn to have a starting point for lettering since I want to learn to help my notes be more organized and cute as you say.

ReplyDeleteThe photo that I have posted represents what I am, I am a visual learner, I am really into painting. I try to use this skill to understand better what I am doing. I like making drawings or doodles when I have to summarize texts and when I have to learn new words, new concepts. Besides, painting has helped me a lot in some areas of my life, as when you paint you have to create a sketch which helps you to formulate your final design, same with any situation of your life, you have to think before acting.
I related what I said before, to what the authors of the text expressed, the main goal of a pedagogy of multiliteracies is to create a learning process that supports the growth of people, making them comfortable with themselves, as well as flexible to
work and negotiate with others who are different from themselves in order
to get a common aim. When I learn through painting, I feel comfortable with myself because is what I love, but I also understand that when I am working in a team, not all people are like me, and I have to be flexible to that.
You are amazing, the way you represent yourself and your activity at the same time. I think you really take advantage of this skill to show yourself in a more organized (chaotic), creative and special way. I've been working in team with you and I really agree with you.

Hi, Luisa
DeleteWhat a nice picture! It was really nice to read you and understand the way you can create knowledge based on an activity that you love such as painting. I totally agree with your interpretation of the text by saying "the main goal of a pedagogy of multiliteracies is to create a learning process that supports the growth of people". In my opinion it is true, it is important that the students have the opportunity to connect their learning process to the things that are important for them in order to enjoy the journey of education.

ReplyDeleteWith this photo I try to represent my love for films. Ever since I was a teenager, my favorite hobby has been watching movies, as time went by I started to realize that not only do I love watching movies, but I also love to analyze and learn every single little "trivial" fact about them. I love to pay attention to the shots, camera angles, cinematography style, soundtrack, writing and even the costume design of every movie. Nurturing this passion, not only helped me to become a more observant and analytical person, but it also helped me to connect it with my college assignments and it helped me to learn that I'm a person who learns in a more visual way.
For one of my English assignments last semester I wrote an essay about the "Male Gaze", a feminist theory that analyzes the way in which women are treated in the media and how that mirrors our misogynistic patriarchal society. Connecting that easy with something that made me feel so passionate made my learning, writing and researching process so much more personal and exciting.
I relate this with multiliteracies by the way in which something that started (and still is) a hobby slowly became a tool that has transformed some of my school work into something in which I can take a more creative, flexible and introspective approach.
Hi, Isa
DeleteThank you for sharing this. It was truly nice to read your description of the meaning you attribute to films, it goes beyond what many people would think of it. I also consider it is very interesting the way you could connect watching movies with your learning process, it is great to see how multimodality and a pedagogy of multiliteracies allow us to become in meaning-makers through these kind of opportunities in education.

Hello, Isa
DeleteFirst, I like the way you took the photo, I can see that you pay attention to camera angles in the movies, the photo was taken in a really artistic way. Second, I would like to say that I love movies too and I used to pay attention to small details also, but I don't look for more information. I love the way you express how multiliteracies work in your hobby and in your academic life.

I love chatting with people around the world in a language different than mine. I love doing this since I was a child and I had access to a computer (or phone) and WiFi connection, it has helped me improve my languages learning skills and also my knowledge about other's people culture (around the world). I first started with Goodwall, an app specialized in Good deeds, it means you share good actions, and get to know nice people doing great things too. Duolingo is more a language learning app, but I use the forums to interact. Tandem lets me interact with Korean people. WeChat it's exclusive for Chinese users... The most remarkable app currently for me is UpLive, since I work there and I also interact with people around the world (I use it everyday). The abilities I consider I've acquired are: social skills (multicultural), language skills (even new languages), self expression, talent development (since I have to show the best of me, standing from who I am), conversational construction and more natural global citizen.
I would say it has helped me develop linguistic skills in relation to real context conversations in different languages; multimodal and multilingual at the same time; I chat, write, speak, enjoy, sing, dance, act, react, and share moments with people around the world, that builds that cultural conception of a new world.

Hi Juanjo, I really like the activity you chose, it's something i've always tried but haven't been succesful at. It goes to show the importance of interaction in pedagogical practices and SLE and you may surpass us all in english and french just by these chats.

In this image I portrait one of the activities that make me incredibly happy: Dancing. It has been an important part in my life since a young age, despite the fact that I had to reduce it as a hobby only, it has made me grow in ways that it is difficult to describe and I think it is because of the meaning I attribute it as dancing is something I truly enjoy. For me this activity is very well related to multimodality, since it involves different modes in its execution: sounds, movements, expression, creativity, among others; while, at the same time, it develops an important number of skills in those who practice it. As for the individual skills that dance has allowed me to develop, I can highlight dedication, discipline, effort, and creative thinking. But I can also include social skills such as respect, cooperation, teamwork, and trust.
I had the opportunity to be in dance teams during the school, in one opportunity in the art class we were allowed to choose an activity (singing, dancing, painting, etc.) to develop a project during the whole year, it was without a doubt an opportunity to learn in a different way, that allowed the specific learning of the subject, and allowed us to learn new things through experience and autonomy. The following year, all the students had to adapt to a specific and generic curriculum of activities for the art class and undoubtedly the meaning-making process did not flow in the same way.
In this way, I relate to the ideas presented by authors about Multiliteracies. A pedagogy of multiliteracies embraces the diversity in a person and in a classroom, we are constantly changing beings that need approaches that change the way teaching and learning are understood in the way people change.
Hi Daniela, although I'm not much of a dancer I relate a lot to how it makes you feel. I agree it's an great example of multimodality and a way to embrace diversity, specially in a cultural way. I remember in school a teacher of mine tried to include indigenous dancing to those presentations, nobody was into it but I think it's a great example of what it could be.
DeleteHi Dani!
DeleteI love how your connection to dancing has also shaped your character, work ethic and the way in which you approach the things that you do. I can tell how passionate you're about it. I also see in dancing as something that can give us a more diverse and inclusive outlook on life and society, since dancing is basically an expression of every culture and community in the world.
I was a dancer when I was younger so I can totally relate to you in how dancing can give us so much freedom to be creative and expressive. <3
Hi Danny, my carpal tunnel is killing e today so I will record a voice message: https://voca.ro/13nnln7GC0oS
DeleteHello, Dani.
DeleteI really appreciate how you tell us more about you and the activities that you love, I understand how important dance is to you and all the significant lessons that the team work in that kind of activity teaches us.

ReplyDeleteI have a big connection with music. I wish I could play all I like to listen to, but it's not the case. With the video I want to represent that link I have with music. And it is important because of the vary gates it has opened to me. Music led me to be interested in English, and also I learnt some English by it. It also gave the push to look with other eyes reading and writing. So music for me has been one of the principal way of getting a cultural capital more extent, and also helped me to increase my social capital. Giving me knowledge in not just in a musical way, but in all the cultural aspects that surround it.
The relation I see with multi-literacy is that how music gave me the opportunity to acquire others abilities and knowledge, of something that is not quite mandatory or fundamental in our society as going to school. So, this hobby has become a mechanism in my life that does not work just as something to spend time but something give a variety of knowledge.
Hi Andres!
DeleteIt's so coool that you play guitar! You do it pretty well (I think picking on guitar is so hard :') I want to learn it) Also, I really like how you relate music to learning different things as English and how it has helped to you to extend your cultural and social capital. For me, music is so important too, and it's very helpful for having fun and for learning.
Thanks for sharing it!
Hi, Andres, I like the meaning that you give to music, it’s pretty related to multiliteracies because you are being an active designer of meaning. Besides, music makes you more flexible to changes and innovations, and multiliteracies are mainly about this.
DeleteHi Andres!!
DeleteThe way in which you connected your passion to music as to being the reason why you were interested into learning English in the first place, is so relatable and interesting. The same thing happened to me but in my case was my passion for movies :). It's so cool to see how things that first started as hobbies can now be linked with some of our school work.
I also wanted to say that ur passion for music and playing guitar is very noticeable, you're super talented! (btw, I love the song that you chose to cover)
Hi, Andrés
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this video, it was awesome. I consider it is so amazing that one activity that you love could lead you to a new language and therefore to a new whole world. I think this is what multiliteracies are all about, giving people the opportunity to grow and use what they love to do in order to create meaning around the education they are receiveng and the experience that surrounds it.

ReplyDeleteSinging is something I enjoy everyday. Every time I'm listening to music, be it while working, studying, riding my bike, driving, on the bus, or just lying in bed, I'm probably singing. I'm not very good at it but it's so fun either way. Through singing and music is how I learned English and I started to do it more often to improve my pronounciation.
Multiliteracies in the text are mentionted to be more transformative than reproductive, and although I'm not creating or transforming anything, it does transform me, which in the end I think is more important.
The text acknowledges this, stating we should "aim to create a kind of person...", which is how music and singing make me feel. And this is without even analyzing and reflecting on the lyrics of so many songs. A lot of music has influenced how I think about the world or has taught me things I was unaware of. I think singing is a great way to teach literacy as a phonetic excercise but also as a reading comprehension excercise, specially useful in SLE, also worth mentioning the cultural exchange that such an excercise may have in a pedagogy of multiliteracies, another point the authors mention.

ReplyDeleteIn that photo, I’m doing one of my favorite hobbies: sports. More specifically, cheerleading. Since I was a child, I have had a strong interest in sports, firstly I practiced swimming and football. Even if I don’t have a talent for them, so I have worked very hard to improve, sometimes I could say that it became an obsession, because I always wanted to know more and search more and more information about the sport I was practicing.
In the case of cheerleading, because it is an American sport, most of the information is in English. So it was an opportunity to practice my English. At the same time, it is a team sport. For that reason, instills many values in you, like cooperation, trust because it is a risky sport and also develops your interpersonal skills due to you have to spend a lot of time with your team, practicing a lot to be synchronized, following the music and reaching some chemistry on the stage.
Other important skills are the intrapersonal ones because you have the discipline to train almost every day, the trust in you to make dangerous movements and the autonomy to work hard, to obtain the money to be in a competition.
I make a link between that sport and the multiliteracies because at the same time I enjoy doing it, I have to search for information in English, know more about my body and develop important social skills that could be important in other fields throughout my life.

Hi, Jhan!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you relate sports with multiliteracies, developing social skills that can help you in all the aspects of your life. Also, it is so important how you highlight the cooperation and the interpersonal skills that one has to develop when one practices a sport, specially cheerleading. Thank you for sharing your experience!
