- Stories told over dinner with the family about the day's events.
- Stories watched through TV shows and movies telling the events of a fantasy world.
- Stories told talking with friends over Skype about how our school years are going.
- Stories told through the narrative of a game, through player interaction and programmed events.
- Stories heard on the news about current events.
- Stories seen or read online about people's daily lives.
- Stories experienced on a day to day basis
We discussed areas that we've read/seen/heard stories online, in person, in TV or others. Generally the idea was that we've seem stories everywhere and they are very prevalent in our society.
Think Beyond Words Exercise:
To me the videos presented by seniors held more importance to me than videos presented by younger people. I believe these were more powerful because of the people presenting it, their stories were longer and were told better than those told by younger people.
My group believed that it depends on the person whether you find videos or written stories more influential and then which age group/setup catches your attention more.
Compare Narratives Exercise:
For me, the most prominent forms of media I consume would be video games and the text books I read/play on a daily basis. The similarities between the two are few and far between but from games we're told a story through interaction and visuals which textbooks have none of, but each of these are telling you a story to learn. For video games it's to understand the world/story better but for textbooks it's to process information for learning in school/for you own personal enrichment. A few of the differences are that Video games tell a story through visuals, audio and interactivity while textbooks tell it through explanation, facts and statements.
