typing of the oral narrations

Post by holdinon » Wed Oct 09, 2013 11:40 am

When typing dc's oral narrations, are we to include the "ummms" and "like, ya know" and "ohhhh, what was his name....oh, yeah, ...." and "hang on, I gotta go back a bit I left this out....." You get the idea :shock: ALL the "extras" (that they already know they need to work on), or do we clean it up a bit as we go. I guess I need to know the end-goal for these. Is it to keep track and evaluate how well they improve overall (in which case, I'm thinking ALL the words/sounds/etc should be included, even though it reads a little.....rough :wink: ). Or is it for seeing what important topics and such were included (in which case I can see doing a "cleaned up" version).

I'm including everything right now (and dd has had quite the laugh at herself :wink: --she's a good sport).....But I justed wanted to clarify the goal here before we continue.

I'm glad you asked this. I was the one that originally asked the question in the thread you linked to and I have to admit I forgot the answer and have been cleaning up his oral narrations :oops: . For some reason when he knows it is being recorded he doesn't do near as well as when I am not recording it. I don't know if it is performance anxiety or what, but the ones he has done so far have been pretty awful so I have had him either stop and do it again or I have taken out the and ums and odd wording when I type it up. I won't do that any more, but I will let him pause and rethink how he wants to say something. So thanks for asking to remind me of how I am supposed to do it.
