Hello and welcome!


This blog is being used to help those who wish to implement Greg Ulmer's mystory writing activity into their classes. Here, I share with you the basic mystory assignment and how I implement the assignment into my first year college composition courses, as (their)story.


I have had many positive experiences utilizing mystory in my classes as means to foster study agency, enhance students' critical thinking skills, co-create knowledge, and create collaborative learning environments.


To use this blog, please navigate to the above toolbar. Pages are separated by topic to help you understand the purpose of mystory as well as the goals of (their)story. Simply put, mystory is a pedagogical genre that asks students to complete a writing activity where they respond to various discourse prompts. (Their)story is my own reinvention of the original mystory activity where I require students to create blogs as a class assignment, and in those blogs students respond to basic mystory prompts, but in their own language(s).


For a further inquiry into (their)story, feel free to use this prezi or this document, both of which I will use in my presentation at the UWP Conference on Pedagogy, Practice, and Philosophy in January 2015.


If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact me.
