Unit Three: Multimodal Communication in My Field

In this unit, we have two major assignments. First, students will analyze the types of writing that they will do in their chosen major to create a multimodal project such as a presentation, blog, vlog, podcast, report, etc. Students who have not yet chosen a major field of study will have the opportunity to explore a career field for this assignment. We will explore genres in multimodal writing and communication, thinking about audience, purpose, and rhetorical situation. We will practice interviewing techniques and learn how to incorporate interviews as sources in multimodal projects. Finally, students will write a rhetorical reflection with an appendix to demonstrate how they have met the course outcomes and improved as a writer.
