Igoa:
Two summers ago I was a teacher's aid in summer school here in Monroe County School Corpration at Clear Creek Elementary. I was working with a young lady who had recently moved here from South Korea and it was extremely difficult to help her advance to he actual grade which was 6th and to compensate for the culture shock she was placed in a fourth grade class. I think it is unfortnate that I was not able to help her feel confident in terms of her use of english literacy. I assume if she was able to use multimodel forms of literacy she would feel more confident in her work!

I really liked the Little Red Riding Hood and other fairy tales projects explained by Hill on page 54. I am 100% that this multimodal project is definitely an activity that I will do in my classroom. As I said in the previous post on Evans my MGRP used many of these themes discussed in these reading. My inspiration came from a digital story of Little Red Riding Hood for my MGRP. Having students write their own version of Little Red Riding Hood similar to the Stincky Cheeseman 's book is very fasinating to see students creativity and use of an alternate ending. Also by using technology I think that will enhance students engagement in the project and reach more students in a variety of ways as Millard's isx aspects descibes to be essential when implementing a new approach to literacy. Using literacy in the form of multimodal texts if will encourage the students to see the opportunity of past print text and how it can be updated to the 21st century using a nonlinear approach. In conclusion photostories and multimodal texts supported student centered learning and was able to be used as a scaffold and build confidence in all students.
