Entry30 Final Ceremony

                                       The Final Ceremony

In this Wednesday, we held a ceremony to celebrate the journal only belong to our English major students. We also invited some professors to give award for our winners. The whole ceremony is very successful. It shows the good result that everyone devoted to this journal. At first, it is very important to thanks for professor’s instruction. Without Jennifer and Lina’s direction, it is impossible for us to finish this journal. Our head editor, Bella and Neil, they work very hard. They need to give assignment to every group and deal with different conflicts.

Poems, non-fiction, fiction groups need to read a lot of work and then select the best one. There is no doubt that they always check every work, which is the amount of hard work. The homepage is beautiful designed. It contributes to the design group’s hard work. I, as a member of design group, I admit it is my honor to be responsible for designing this page. I believe this journal will become better under everyone’s efforts.

Entry 29 Class Response on the group presentation

Class response on the group presentation

Last Wednesday, we did a group presentation to report their work. Jennifer provide Todaysmeet this platform for us to share our own ideas. I think this is a very effective platform, because we can see other people’s opinion quickly. In addition, it also makes us involve in the presentation.

Every group all did a very good job on their assignment. On the way of delivering their presentation, different group have different choices to show their work result. Some group select three people to do a presentation. One person roughly presents their work summary. One person tells the difference between electronic literature and print literature. Another person introduces everyone’s contribution by showing the infographic. Some group also everyone present their work individually. Personally, I think this way is a little bit waste of time.

Unconsciously, “lying cotton review” this journal has finished by efforts from the whole English major students. I am really appreciate the ceremony in 12/17!

Entry28: Work Report of Design Group

                                                   Work Report in Design Group

          I am a member of design group. Our leader is Sherry Wang. She did a lot of things to help us achieve this assignment. Our group once has designed five different homepage includes simple, academic, funny, mixed style. Under our discussion, we finally choose to design a simple theme page, because it will more suitable for our title "lying cotton". The main responsibility for me is to design page in the poem part. I think design poem part is little different. Clear font is much easier for reader to read. Also, each poem should be attached with a picture. We choose a picture that can express the main idea of poem. Here is the page that I designed. Also, I designed the infographic about our group presentation. In the ceremony part, my job is to take a video from professor Jennifer and take photo from non-fiction group. I hope these pictures can make our final ceremony more attractive. 

Entry27: The value of electronic literature

                                                         Value of electronic literature

         With the development of technology, electronic literature is gradually spreading quickly via Internet. Electronic literature is a digital book that consists of many different mediums that include video, animation, sound, virtual environments. It is doubtless involves multiple online techniques to create a new reading atmosphere for everyone.

          Actually, the development of electronic literature" brings us a lot of benefits. The obvious benefit is that we do not need to pay money. We can look up materials whatever we want according to our own wills.  In addition, the electronic literature is convenient for updating when reader finds some mistakes.  In a word, reading electronic literature is a result that confirms to the trend of times. Some books with print edition already has become very old and is easy to be preserved.  It really provides a good access for reader to understand famous book much easily. I believe electronic book will bring us more advantages with the progress of times.
