Hello! My name is Kailee Snyder and I am a student, blogger,
nerd and hacker. I decided to take this class because I love learning about
theory and I wanted to learn how literary theory fits into the world of
blogging and other newer forms of composing. The blog that I started for this
class and the one that I still post on today is titled Dare to Dream
Infinitely. In this blog I talk about all things Harry Potter, form literary
theory, to crafts, to fashion, and everything in between.
For this class project I talked about three chapters and
their theories. The first chapter was Where
Ya At? Composing Identity Through Hyperlocal Narratives. I wrote a summary
about the chapter as well as an example of the theory in practice on other
class blogs.
The second chapter I wrote about was Mr. Secrets: Multimodality’s Complex Invitation to Remake Text,
Meaning, and Audience. For this chapter I looked at a web site that
satisfies the need for a culturally relevant example and my need to be nerdy.
The final chapter I worked on was No Theory But For Practice: Born, Multimedia, & the Avant-Garde. In this example reinforced my nerdy-ness and
again used one of my favorite sites as an example of mixed media in the new age
of composition.
Thank you so much for sharing in our learning!
-Kailee Snyder
