Final Project Assignment: The Multimodal Remix
In this final assignment, you’ll be reexamining your most recent research-based essay and recreating it as a multimedia piece. Take the argument you’ve already written and rethink the medium. This process is called remediation, adapting a message from its current page-based medium to the realm of digital technology. Just as you do when you write an essay, you will still be responsible for considering your techniques, rhetorical strategies, audiences, and use of language; however, using a variety of modes (sound, video, audio, alphabetic text, font, color, etc.) you may be afforded new creative opportunities to share your project’s message.
What are Modes?
Here are the modes we hope to target:
Linguistic: written words and phrases, bursts of text, sсrіpted voiceover narration, interview clips, etc.
Visual: digital photos, video clips, GIFs, memes, font, color, original photography, original artwork, etc.
Aural: musical underscoring, atmospheric sound effects, audio interviews, podcasting, etc.
Spatial: the layout of words and image, juxtaposition, size, scale, distance, etc.
Potential examples:
Imagine that you’ve been asked to present your most recent paper to an audience outside this classroom at a public venue. Would you stand at the front of the room and merely read your essay out loud? You could, of course, but you’d be neglecting a true creative opportunity.
Instead of boring your audience to tears, you might attempt to engage them in other ways. Perhaps you could:
Construct a visual presentation—using PowerPoint or Prezi, perhaps—and use font, color, still images, short bursts of text, etc. to amplify the project’s claims.
Re-interpret your project as an audio essay or podcast.
Think like a YouTuber and create a video tutorial on your project.
Create a brief animation.
Write and illustrate (digitally or by hand) a graphic novel or sequence of comic panels.
Design a game or quiz that teaches your audience about your project (and have your fellow classmates play it in class).
Make a set of posters or PSAs (Public Service Announcements) that informs people about your project.
Design an original infographic or collection of charts to outline your project visually.
Construct a website that houses information about your project.
Production & Assessment:
The Multimodal Remix consists of two components: a multimedia/modal piece and a written, reflective component. Together, they constitute 25% of your total course grade.
You must use at least two modes of expression along with the text. Evidence used throughout should be clearly cited and end with a Works Cited page.
Thesis/Argument: Convey the argument of your Research-Based Argument project in a new way, using other modes of creation besides strictly alphabetic text. Your audience should not have to guess what your argument is: your argument in your creative project should be clear as a “standalone piece” to an audience outside our class who knows nothing about your work. Remember: you are still making an argument—not merely informing the audience.
Creativity/originality in making your argument: Be creative. Your goal is to create a piece that engages the audience you’re envisioning (most immediately our class but also beyond) in your argument and research. You can do this in a number of ways: by appeals to logic (logos) using alphabetic text/numbers/research. You can use images and video clips to appeals to emotion (pathos). How well do you select interesting images or video clips? How well do you arrange them to tell a story?
Sources: Use list of Works Cited to credit any sources you may use.
Proofreading/Grammar: If you use alphabetic text, your writing style is concise and compelling, and you carefully edit and proofread your final draft so that your writing contains no errors in spelling or grammar (unless you’re do so intentionally to make a point).
Length: The final version should be long enough to convey an argument but not longer than 3 minutes.
Reflective Writing and Rationale (500 words, double spaced)
Keep in mind this is a writing class. You will not be graded on your use of technology as much as your resourcefulness: how did you find images, choose the tech, get help, and write about your rhetorical choices, successes, and failures in your reflective essay?
Excellent Reflective Essays will reflect the following learning outcomes. In this “extended writer’s letter” you should:
Demonstrate that you understand the importance of rhetorical considerations for any communicative act: the audience, purpose, genre, medium, and explain your thinking about your rhetorical situation and choices for this project.
You might want to answer some of the following questions:
Why did you choose to construct the piece in this way? How did you settle upon this mode or medium?
What are the luxuries and difficulties of the various technologies and media that you’ve chosen? (Time involved, glitches, privacy issues, access, etc.)
What changes did you make to the content in order to meet the demands of this new form?
Who is the audience you’re targeting? What considerations have you made to reach them?
What effect(s) do you hope your choices will have on the audience?
Is there any choice you′ve made (in the process of assembling this piece) that you′re particularly proud of?
Are there any elements of the piece that you feel could do with improvement?
Which elements of the piece do you feel are the most successful?
Explain your production and revision process. What revisions would you want to make before publishing this or sharing it with a wider audience?
