The class where we were asked to get into groups and come up with our own forms of locative narrative was super interesting. While providing an opportunity to really get familiar with the material and actually understand what locative narrative comprises of, it also allowed for much creative thinking and allowed ideas to be shared. Sharing ideas within groups was a great experience, and although it seemed like a daunting task in the beginning, I think most people quite enjoyed it by the end. Moreover, listening to what other people formulated in the presentation part of the class was a very eye-opening experience for me. It allowed me to see how much of an influence a person’s faculty, program, courses and peers/colleagues have on the way he/she thinks. The ideas within each group were very diverse, and what I thought of was how each person’s ideas would have been integrated had the groups been different. As far as the ideas that people came up with, I was very impressed. They were very creative, and it was obvious that they were collaborative efforts, like in a communal narrative, in which some very potent ideas were employed. I definitely saw some people who will follow in the footsteps of Bruce McDonald and make Ryerson proud!
