multimodal workshop PROJECT FORMATION

multimodal project assignment Writing Prompt A multimodal text can be paper-based (books, comics, posters, etc.), digital (slide presentations, e-books, blogs, e-posters, web pages, animation, video, etc.), live (performance, etc.), or transmedia (a combination of media platforms that works together as a new medium). A multimodal project helps students to learn to most effectively construct and articulate meaning with various available communication modes (image, movement, sound, gesture, language, etc). Building upon the analysis and the annotated bibliography, students will design a multimodal project that will showcase their own creative and critical understandings of an animal or animals. They could translate their research findings into a mini graphic novel or novella, a series of posters, a podcast, a video, or any other multimodal media.
