New Media Writing Assignment
Overview:
When we produce an argument, many of the decisions we make are determined by the rhetorical situation. Thus, when the rhetorical situation changes, so will our argument. In this major Multimodal Composition, you will be revising your researched argument using one of the digital apps we learned during the New Media Group Project.
Process:
1. Review the New Media Group Projects posted in eCourseware.
2. Choose the app that you assess to be the most effective for conveying your researched argument. Consider:
1. Who is my audience?
2. What is the most persuasive information I need to convey to be persuasive?
3. Do I need a lot of charts and graphs? Consider Piktochart.
4. Will my audience be most persuaded using video? Imovie.
5. Will humor work best for my argument? Powtoon or Pixton.
3. Outline your researched argument draft for the most persuasive information.
4. Revise your argument into a Multimodal Composition using your chosen app. Consider:
1. What tone is appropriate for the non-academic audience?
2. How can I best combine text, images, and sound to construct a sound argument?
3. What appeals can I make using linguistic, visual, aural, spatial and gestural modes?
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
