ENGL 1302

Project #4: Multimodal Writing

Description

For this assignment you chose one of five products in which you present the research that

you collected for this class. You may choose from the following: 1) infographic, 2) blog,

3) Wiki, 4) audio essay, or 5) digital research poster. You need to receive instructor

approval for your choice prior to beginning the assignment.

Your assignment will include 3 main components: the product, a justification, and

evidence of feedback. Every element of the product will be based on the rhetorical

situation (think PIGSAC), the justification will justify 5 specific choices that you made

when making the product, and the evidence of feedback will prove that others have

reviewed your product. Your product should include references as appropriate in order to

receive credit. Use Everyone’s an Author and other available resources for to help you

prepare this assignment.

Author (p. 739 – 779)

Do preliminary research to select the product you will complete and get approval from

your instructor (You may not change your product after receiving approval)

Use the internet and/or other resources to learn about best practices, software, or

procedures for creating your chosen product

Consider the rhetorical situation of your product (complete a PIGSAC of your future

product as a way to make informed choices about font, headings, wording, color,

white space, visuals, audio, organization, and citation style)

Create a detailed sketch or plan of your product, including a timeline for completing the

entire project (product, justification, and feedback) by the due date

Stick to your plan for creating the product; bring a complete “draft” of the product to

class on the assigned day for peer review (color copy, audio file, offline edition,

etc)

Talk to your peers about 5 specific choices that you made when designing and creating

the product

Consider feedback and revise/edit both the product and the justification as needed
