New Literacies Project

For my new literacy project I am going to be creating comic strips that deal with sports literacy. This wasn't one of the options as far as what type of literacy we could explore, but I feel that there is a language and literacy that is unique to the world of sports. For me, this project is based on the definition of literacy as "knowledge of a particular subject or field." In my case that knowledge and field is going to be various sports. Specifically, I am going to create separate comic strips for about five or six different sports and the language that is unique to each of those sports. This will be done as if students in an elementary class were making the comics to inform their classmates of the language and literacy that is unique to the particular sport that they are interested in. I have always been a fan of comic strips and I think that this is something that students in elementary school would enjoy working with. I have only just now begun working with the software for creating the comic strips and I think that it enables one to express information and ideas in a very unique way. I am looking forward to getting more involved in the project and hopefully I don't run into too many problems as I work with the new technology of the comic strip creator
