Variation Across Contexts
Making decisions based on the context of an assignment has been a major focus for my classmates and I this year. In the college atmosphere, with its increased workload, it's crucial to make effective decisions and produce assignments that not only follow the outlines but also connect with the intended audience in an engaging or informative way.
During my time in English 1101, I have completed numerous assignments that required proper preparation, decision-making, and understanding of the audience. In class, we have had time to allow our peers to review and comment on our work, which helped us to create a better final draft than what we had previously made.
The best example of this principle in action was the requirements for Major Assignment 3. Our job was to revise a certain major assignment, either 1 or 2, and remediate it for a different audience. I chose to remediate major assignment 2 to expand the audience from an academic standpoint to a broader one by using the form of a narrated video presentation.
Multimodal Literacy Assignment (Remediation)
In this assignment, we were asked to tell a story about a significant moment in our literacy development while incorporating a part of our daily reading concepts into our presentation. In addition to this, our presentation had to be multimodal, meaning it had to incorporate multiple types of modes of communicating information. This assignment helped me utilize my decision-making skills by allowing me to determine what I would speak about and how I would convey it to the new audience.
Below is a link to my final submission for the multimodal literacy assignment.
Below is a link to the rough draft for the same assignment. Comparing the two submissions demonstrates the production that went into creating this assignment, from the voicing to the editing.
