Class notes 11/16/16

Project stuff from the end of class:

  • Some noticed topics/groupings for the stories:
    • Futures and pasts, some stories don’t fit into either
    • Often, themes of remorse/regret in the stories
  • Goals for todays discussion:
    • We need to decide what each group is doing, and put them together
    • Intro, conclusion? Extra stuff like letters or poems
  • Audience
    • Comparison might be good, because our audience might want to see similarities between people
      • Problem: often some people’s stories don’t show that much similarity
    • Might want to focus on helping the residents there, not just our guys.
    • The residents might assume the label of criminals, because that’s what everyone tells them they are
      • Want to show the outside people that they aren’t what everyone tells them they are
    • Every group was unique, why try to make all the stories fit together
    • Show the individuality of everyone’s relationships
      • Scrapbook idea brought up again, collection of 3 segments (Sun, Mon, and Tues).
      • Each night would get together and decide on the book, doesn’t have to just be words
      • Each section would end up with its own personality, because it would be a collection of each groups experience and stuff
      • Try not to sound condescending or anything in the scrapbook! -Ally
        • Needs to sound authentic, organic, don’t just try to appease them
        • How they affected you, be conscious of what they can/can’t see through
      • Rainy > Dave???
      • Can have some color, not tooooo much though
    • Need to be
    • Redo’s are due after thanksgiving
