This Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Type of Electronic Literature was made with the application Twine, and it throws the reader into a life/death zombie apocalypse after a couple of tamer choices in the beginning of the story.

Memory And Memoir Writing, Caroline Hanna Apr 2024

Memory And Memoir Writing, Caroline Hanna

The Hugemanities Project Big Contest

My project Memory and Memoir Writing is a 2-3 week unit about students using their media literacy skills to enhance their memoir writing skills. This is a subject that I am passionate about because high school students do not get to write about themselves in the classroom, but will be something that they do in their future. Students will be analyzing a variety of texts, such as, a traditional memoir, a cookbook, and photo essays. Students will be bringing in images and documents from home to supplement and inspire their writing. They will create a finished product that will tell …


Memory In Literature: Power & The Literary Canon, Chloe Alice Rattee Apr 2024

Memory In Literature: Power & The Literary Canon, Chloe Alice Rattee

The Hugemanities Project Big Contest

In my project I explored how cultural memory applied to literature can open up the discussion to talk about how power is wielded by those that create a canon, literary or religious. I used William Blake's work to discuss how few educated, powerful people's interpretation of something so difficult and massive at The Bible can cut out perspectives or opinions that they don't want included in their teachings.

Questions And Questioning In Toni Morrison's "Recitatif", Sara J. Bibeau Apr 2024

Questions And Questioning In Toni Morrison's "Recitatif", Sara J. Bibeau

The Hugemanities Project Big Contest

In this project I explore how Morrison uses both counter narratives and counter memories to challenge how the reader perceives certain thematic content the context of the story as well as in their own lives. Memory plays an integral role in the plot between the characters of Roberta and Twyla, as they struggle to make sense of their own childhood and in turn who they have become over the years. Morrison's pointed choice to never state the race of Twyla or Roberta couples with ambiguity of the race of the character Maggie as well, creating an interplay of counter narrative …
