I struggled with this task a lot this week. With the very brief assignment description on Canvas, I just didn’t know where to start. Luckily I had already read the New London Group (1996) article last semester, so the re-read made their concepts and ideas easier to understand.
When I didn’t know how to approach this task, I was drawn to Figure 1 from The New London Group (p. 83) of the metalanguages to describe design elements and modes of meaning. Knowing this task was to be auditory, I used a few sounds effects and a snip-it of music, but felt the need for something else.
As I looked around while I was sitting in my “bag”, I was drawn to the colours surrounding me. I decided that would be the perfect compliment to my podcast-style recording.
I hope you enjoy the cheeky nature of my post and that it gives you a bit more insight into who I am!
