The Things They Carry

 

Overview

This project is intended to retell "The Things They Carry," the first of several short vignettes in Tim O'Brien's novel by the same name. Through this Wiki you will hear the voices of the unheard, those people and organizations who were witness to the events in the story, but whose experience was not detailed. Through this Wiki new perspectives of the story will be presented in order to retell the story in a manner that would otherwise not be told.

         This Wiki will retell the story "The Things They Carry"  in Tim O'Brien's  novel by the same name. Through the use of Voice Thread, a blog, Glogster, Photostory, and Wiki, the events of the first chapter in the novel will be retold through a variety of unheard voices. The objective of this project is to develop a deeper understanding of the thematic ideas, events, and characters present in the piece while exploring the different digital literacies available.
