Representations galore...

"Representation doesn't always have to be literal."  This is what we had learned from our Kidnet guest lecturers.  They explained to us that representations of writing don't always have to be literal.  They showed us examples of digital stories that portrayed people's autobiographies through pictures and digital media.  

This reminded me of my own experience during my high school graduation.  Instead of a normal graduating speech, I expressed my feelings through dance and put together a graduation dance instead of a written oral graduation speech.  In the following video, me and four other graduating dancers danced to "For Good" to express how people have impacted our high school's lives for the better and as a tribute to our family and friends for always being there.

It is interesting how writing and language can really be portrayed in so many different modalities.  This is simply just one of them...
