Document Summary
Iws reading journal: kate draws text of her own life as well, fan fiction = textual playground where she repurposes, combines, works across, remediates texts, genres, media, technologies. What data did he collect, and how did he analyze: interviewed formally and informally in 2 years of graduate school informally more successful, more open bc fan fiction is stigmatized. Collected texts and drawing from high school through 2 years of graduate school. What are limitations: different methods of learning, improve the teaching of writing, limitations: she is not a very typical case; she writes a lot of fan fiction! Most people don"t think like this: would have been cool to examine atypical case vs. typical case, multimodality in learning english. Wrote short story about one of her own characters reading about socrates. Simplification of material, she took lots of notes, then used fan fiction as a study guide.
