July 31st: Final Project and
Presentation Workshop

Multimodal Essay/Projects

I actually don't like calling this an essay because that makes us think about traditional text-based papers as opposed to project that use sound, video, graphics, and, possibly, text. I'm not expecting you to be videographers or installation artists, but I'd like you to try to incorporate multimodality/ies into this Multimodal Essay/Project. Some of you are probably familiar with Movie Maker or iMovie, so you may use those. Others of you know HTML and could create a webpage that incorporates images, text, video, etc.

You're going to have a presentation to do associated with this project. Some of you may choose to do a Project similar to how others have done the leading class discussion with Powerpoint and the Web. Others of you might want to do a video that uses clips, images, sound bites, etc. to convey your "argument."
