Audio Letter Reflection & Explanation

Please thoughtfully answer each of the following questions about your audio letter in a typed reflection (minimum of two pages, double spaced). This descriptive reflection will be counted as a separate quiz grade. You will be evaluated on the thoughtfulness and detail of your responses. You may answer each question separately or weave your answers into a narrative.

1. Connections: Explain the connections between your letter and The Things They Carried. To what character is your letter connected? How is it connected to that character? Who is at the other end of your letter? How did you decide what to write about and how to write about it in a way authentic to your character? 2. Emotions: What emotions were you trying to express on behalf of the letter writer? What is the emotional tone of your letter? What emotions would you expect the recipient to feel upon reading the letter? How are these emotions conveyed in your choice of language, sounds, or image? 3. Audio: What additional audio did you include? What is the significance of your additional audio (music and/or sound effects)? Did you edit the audio for your soundscape? Why? 4. Image: What is the significance of your image? How did you choose it? What do you hope it brings to mind for the viewer? How does your image connect to the language of the letter and accompanying sounds? 5. Process: What was your process for completing the soundscape? How was your process similar and/or different than the weebly and hypertext assignments? What were your successes and challenges with this assignment? Due: Friday, May 10.
