STORIES TRANSMEDIATION ASSIGNMENT

In order to deepen your understanding of one of the stories we have looked at (and to show that deep understanding), your task is to re-tell one story using a different medium than the one the story is originally expressed in. This is called transmediation transferring the story from one medium to another. If you select a more abstract medium (for example a dance, or a photo essay), you may be asked to orally explain/justify your choices. If you have an idea for a medium that we havent yet looked at, please come speak with me to determine whether it will be a good choice. How you will be graded: Accurately represents
