I would like to respond to Anna’s remix, in which she wrote a fanfiction about what a wizarding school might be like in an urban area. I really enjoyed that she thought through the place that the students would enter the wizarding world from the muggle world, and that she included information that the students would most likely be African American or Latino because of the school’s location. I think that her PowerPoint slide really helped me to visualize the school and its students, and it helped to discern her correct name for the school. As I sit towards the back of the room, I couldn’t hear her very well, and I thought she was saying “Apoxia.” Additionally, the assertion that eagles might be used in America to deliver messages rather than owls is certainly clever, and realistic (considering American pride) in my opinion. Again, it was difficultto hear her while she was reading her excerpt, so most of what I’m responding to is based on the PowerPoint slide. Anna is super intelligent, though, so I have no doubts that her fanfiction, or flash fiction was well-written. It was very clear that she put a lot of time, and work into this project.
