Literacy Timeline
When I sat down in class to begin my literacy timeline it didn't take that long for my idea to start flowing. I tried to think back as far in my memory to when I first started speaking writing and reading. I took a step by step approach when writing my literacy timeline. I was focused on my major achievements. I noticed that I started with books then advanced to television, then from there moved on to music. I went a bit outside the assignments requirements and did a lifetime timeline. I talked abut the different events i remember that helped me become the literate young adult that i am today. The experience in creating a timeline just really gave me an idea of how I am able to do the things academically that I can today. The timeline let me reflect on my childhood knowledge obtained.
Literacy Narrative
It was easy for my to narrow down my thoughts to create a straightforward story. Once I got rolling writing my essay the words came easy. I wrote my story in chronological order. I took the time to write a pretty good detailed rough draft so the final copy was just the updated version with less flaws. The peer review just boosted my confidence in writing. My partner showed me the strong parts of my story which made the slideshow an easy process. My narrative was a nice reflection of my timeline, everything was precise and in order according to how it happened in my life.
While in the process of making the final edits I was brainstorming how I was going to turn the story into a video slideshow. It didn't alter the way I would normally write a story because I feel like all written work can be put into visual form.
Animoto Slideshow
I think my partner chose 15 solid sentences. Of those passages I probably use like 6 of them in my slideshow. FOr my slideshow I re worded my sentences due to the 52 character limit per slide. It wasn't hard to edit my slides to fit a set character limit because anybody with a twitter knows that you have a limited character limit so its sort of easy to take out the unnecessary words. The pictures in my slideshow went perfectly with my presentation. I used the visuals to add detail and as compliments to my words.
Chapter 2: literature review
ReplyDeleteIntroduction:
2-1 Underpinning theories:
To provide evidence for the hypothesized relationships proposed by this study, this research will make use of the following established theories generated by prior scholars.
Theory of planned behavior:
The concept of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TBP) was derived from a previous theory named the theory of reasoned action. It was introduced for the first time by Icek Ajzen (1985). Each theory suggests that an individual's intentions and attitudes towards a certain behavior are influenced by comprehending their behavioral beliefs, normative convictions along with social norms of their social environment. The dissimilarity between TRA and TBP results in greater possibility to comprehend one’s actual attitudes through the latter which leads to physical behavior (Martin, 2017). Perceived Behavioral Control is considered as its primary strength since it helps determine whether an individual truly believes in having authority over their desired behavior or not. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2005).
The Theory of Planned Behavior as illustrated in the figure below is comprised of three components: personal attitude, perceived behavioral control and the subjective norms of society. All these things affect a person's intention and, in the end, their actual behavior.

According to (Ajzen, 1991), Behavioral intentions denote the motivational elements that shape behavior. The greater the strength of the intention to engage in a particular behavior, the greater the probability of executing that behavior. The degree to which an individual approves or disapproves of a particular behavior is indicative of their attitude towards it. This attitude is influenced by their beliefs about the behavior and their evaluation of its consequences.
