Do you think it’s important to have a multimodal component in writing classes? What does “multimodality” mean to you? And, most importantly, what are your specific plans for Unit 3 (Due Day 1 Week 15). How do you think the multimodal component will help you reach your audience?

I believe it is important to have a multimodal component in writing. I’ve done a multimodal presentation in my english class last semester and it really helped my research skills. I was able to go find much different type of evidence, photos, articles, and videos. It just helps you become a better researcher in my opinion. Multimodality to me, means all the different ways of showcasing an argument, all in one. You know when you make a website they have images some writing to explain and some videos under to show whatever they are talking about more in depth, that to me is multimodality because u (Hi!  Please spell out the word You! 🙂 ) are using all the different ways of showcasing evidence and arguments to back up your claim while also showing imagery to simplify it. my (use capital letters) plans for unit 3 is to focus on an audience of will be 4th graders and my genre is school. I’m going to help these 4th graders to like school better or at least be able to tolerate it. The multimodal component will help me because I already have images in mind to keep them entertained and different things to say to them in order to make them be in awe. Also I just will provide the right amount of imagery and words and videos that will just make them excited to finish school while also telling them my story.
