Week 6 Summary

For this weeks workshop tasks in English Language and Literacies we were required to do a pre-workshop task of creating a glossary on certain terms we had read in Winch, et al. Some of the words we were required to find a definition for were "Semantic information", "Syntax", "Phonological information" and "Graphological information".

This proved to be quite a challenge finding out the correct terminology. I personally struggled with finding out what "Semantic information" was which lead me to read the first eight pages on a thesis about the topic! However, in our reading groups we combined our answers to create a glossary of terms that we felt were accurate and helpful.

We also had to summarise three different ideas that we had for our upcoming digital narrative assignment. Unfortunately for us nobody had any specific ideas posted which resulted in the group just discussing rough, vague plans for the assignment. These plans included creating a simple children's book, what programs to use and how to put it all together.
