This week we had three prompt options to choose from that included: "Make a poem out of newspaper headlines" or "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." or "Make a collage from items in your wastebasket [or steal scraps from someone else's wastebasket.]" This week I had a hard time choosing between all three of the prompts because they were all very intriguing.
The prompt I ended up choosing to do was "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." I chose this prompt because I find it odd that one can plagiarize oneself but I guess it's possible and I wanted to try it for myself.
I thought plagiarizing myself would be the easiest thing in the world. I was wrong. I found it more difficult than taking things offline and citing them. I did not want to break my own line of thinking in my original paper but for the sake of this prompt I had to do it and I did.
I think my new, let's call it remixed, scrapbooked, paper makes sense when you read it but I like my original paper better. Of course, I am being totally biased when I say thins because I wrote the stupid thing.
I really like how this prompt took my out of my comfort zone and made me take a different perspective and approach to one of my own paper's for once instead of some stranger's on the internet.
**For my remix narrative I will be posting a separate blog post titled, Memes Remixed Disney Style. I made memes that took "First of All" tweets and remixed them with cartoon Disney pictures of scenes from my childhood. I hope you all get a laugh out of them, and if not appreciate the thought behind them.
