Main media (picture or video)
(Optional) Supporting media (graphs or additional photos/videos)
(Optional) Side banners from website
(Optional) Author mini-bio
(Optional) Reply and comment section
(Optional) Ads and sponsored links
Note: make sure to cite any picture or banners you take from the web on your works cited page. Images should also have a caption to indicate their source

4. Multimodal document design
Use a Snipping tool to remove, cut, or edit parts of images and paste them into your document
Microsoft Word can easily create multimodal documents if you follow two options:

Pate image into text
Right click  Word Wrap Text  Square
Using Wrap text square is paramount! Otherwise Word will make working with pictures rather difficult

Is the student using a soft lead, hard lead, or buried lead strategy?
How engaging is the student’s hook? Give this a rating on a scale of 1-5.
What rhetorical appeal(s) might be involved in the student’s hook?

11. Group activity- WTI peer review
Exchange drafts with one other student (3 students per group iff one person is missing their draft)
Read through the draft and answer the questions below
What kind of structure do the body paragraphs follow? (Consider: inverted pyramid, chronological, general to specific)
How many pieces of direct evidence are included in the essay? Would you describe these as quotes or paraphrase (give a number and identification for each)
Does the student provide information about the 6 main questions? (Who, what, when, where, why, and how) For each question word, give a brief answer.
Check the separation between each paragraph to evaluate the essay’s coherence (using the last sentence of one paragraph and the first sentence of the next paragraph). Does each have a smooth transition or use transition words?
