Exercise 4: Annual Report narrative

Due Thurs. Mar. 24

For the Project 4 preliminary work, students will need to create the narrative their annual report will tell. Your narrative will have a beginning, middle, and end, and be translated into the annual report you design for Twitter.

Narratives to Build: Each student will create three different and unique narratives for their Twitter annual report.

Methods to Use: format each of your three narratives in any of the following ways:
  • graph: plot the beginning, middle, and ending, charting areas of excitement, repose, and then your conclusion
  • index cards or sticky-notes: use these to either story board your narrative, or map out what each spread will look like; these aren't thumbnail drawings, but rather, what the key points in the story will be
  • outline: order your narrative from I to X or any other sequence of numbers, writing out what you will show and tell the reader
  • prose: write it as a story, with a beginning, middle, and end
  • you can experiment and try some of the items above, or you can choose one of these methods and use it for all three of your narratives
Presentation: students have two options
  1. Display your work using the RVRC Mac overhead display as a PDF. 
  2. If you have hand drawn or written work, we will need to post it in the RUTL 220 classroom on the cork board.
  3. You can also photocopy any of your work, and have handouts for the instructor and your classmates. 
 Exercise 4: worth 30 points total
