I think it was difficult to find objects around campus that could be connected back to literacy without overlapping with what other groups were trying to do (at least I thought so). However, I think we did a good job finding a collection of literacies that not only represent the university but represent the ideas we discussed as a class about what literacy is. First we met up and walked around campus taking pictures of different objects we saw that could represent literacy. We then posted them to a google doc and narrowed down our objects to about 4. I think using the google doc made it a lot easier to communicate as a group and build our project without physically being together. I liked working with my group because they came up with a lot of unique ideas about what defines literacy and brought a new prospective into the project that I didn't originally have. The actual formation of how to present our project was little difficult because of how broad our topic was. What objects have literacy? What are we defining as literacy? Our final project let the viewer of our video sort of define what we found in their own way, which I loved. I think trying to translate something that would normally be an essay into an untraditional piece was interesting as well as thought provoking and pushed us to think outside the box presentation wise. I'm really proud of the work my group members put into this project and think it turned out really well. Our goal was to get our peers thinking about hidden literacies and their meaning and I think we did just that!
