Cline of Interactivity

A comment from Angela Thomas to an article by Kelli Mcgraw has this definition - "In speaking about composing and responding to texts I usually talk about a cline of interactivity – where you can participate in a novel in certain ways (identifying with the protagonist, creating images in your head etc) but these are different to the ways you might interact when creating fan fiction, or becoming involved in a roleplay where you become part of the narrative experience."

This lead to McGraw offering this "Angela Thomas has helped me to clarify my thinking around this, and suggests that students could refer to the 'cline of interactivity' for texts that invite participation."
