This week I started out thinking I had a plan for my WP3 but ended up very unsure about what I want to write about. I did like reading what others’ proposals were. It shows that we have a very creative class. I definitely am planning on changing my initial proposal, after seeing some feedback from Z. While I want to change my topic, I do want to keep my idea of transforming one of the genres into a Buzzfeed article. I want to show how a scholarly article can be transformed into something more casual and engaging. While I like the freedom of the prompt for WP3, too much freedom often confuses me about what to write. From the class on Monday, after discussing how one can transform a genre and what the big ideas in an article can be, it seemed like there were too many options for me to choose from. The big ideas in articles are specific to each article, so essentially the big ideas can be anything, including citations. I think it's the hardest to choose a topic when there aren't that many boundaries because it means I have to choose wisely. I'm glad we got to first propose our idea, read others, and get feedback on it. If we did not, I could have almost completed my WP3 before realizing that my choice of genre transformation was not ideal. Hopefully I can come up with something good!
Once I really sat down to plan this project I also realized that I want to change my topic. At least you have most of the project planned out already though. I think transforming one of the scholarly articles into a Buzzfeed article is a super cool idea that I wish I would have thought up before. It’s definitely an awesome way to engage older audiences. I agree that this project is a bit confusing because we have so much freedom, but I am really trying to embrace the room we have to be creative. We are finally able to take everything that we have learned this quarter and create our own creative piece! Good luck!
