For me, I would say that the blog posts are mainly focused on this class but looking into it I would like to use it more in the future. But we used these four readings to come up with these responses.
How to Create a Weebly Website (Video Tutorial) All Writing is Multimodal (Cheryl Ball and Colin Charlton) It's All C.R.A.P: Four Principles of Design (Think Around Corners) Assessing Multimodal Student Work (Kent State University) 1. Why are we creating a website for our English Composition I course? Well, I’m gonna say the general answer which is that we need to create a website for our English Composition I course because it’s part of the assignments we have to do. But the more creative answer would be to express ourselves you can say freely. 2. How do Ball and Charlton define "multimodal" writing? Ball and Charlton define “multimodel” writing multiple and mode which for them mode means many things for them as well. For them, as they say, “in contemporary writing studies, they refer to it as a way of meaning-making or communicating.”. Also from The New London Group (NLG) (1996), they say “outlines five modes through which meaning is made: Linguistic, Aural, Gestural, and Spatial.”. 3. Do you agree with Ball and Charlton when they claim "all writing is multimodal"? I would say I don’t know for sure if I agree or disagree because people express their writing in their own way. Some writers don’t have to make meaning to their story as long as the reader enjoys it and connects with it their own way. Then there are some writers that use their words to communicate to their reader and some reader get interested in the first sentence. 4. As a web site author who will create your own web page content in this course, how would you rank the importance of the five modes on a scale of 1-5? Please provide a brief rationale to support each mode ranking. Technically it would be our writer self if you have one but mostly it’ll be our ideas to express and develop our writing. In my opinion, I would rank the importance of the five modes from a scale of 1-5 I would choose a 4. For linguistic I would say you can communicate in different ways like writing a story or a blog in a different language. For aural you don’t have to read but now in days, we can just listen to a story with the technology now. For visual writers can use pictures to express themselves just like photographers they can show many emotions from a single picture. Then we got gestural many people we can tell a story and them we use hand motions to emphasize how serious something has gotten. Lastly spatial as a writer or a blogger they can try to relate to there audience either in there daily life or something on a personal level and that is how they connect more to a writer. 5. What does the C.R.A.P. acronym stand for? C.R.A.P are four principles of design C stands for Contrast, R stands for Repetition, A stands for Alignment, and for P it stands for Proximity. 6. As a web site author who will create your own web page content in this course, how would you rank the importance of the four C.R.A.P. principles of design on a scale of 1-5? Please provide a brief rationale to support each design principle ranking. For this method I would say your imagination because it mostly how you wanna make the story or even a website because it is just yours. For contrast, if you wanna make something just pop to emphasize how important it is to you. As for repetition, it could also mean something in importance or can explain something in more depth like having a topic and using dashes to explain it more. For alignment, you wanna have everything in the right place if not something with the slightest little thing that is out of position and can cause you to have to do it all over again, for example, a poster or a flyer. Lastly, for proximity everything has to make sense and have a meaning for everything in a poster or a flyer. As we saw on the website that explains this method is shows a soldier holding four fingers up and tells we need theses in whatever we write or more importantly create something. 7. What are the seven sample criteria Borton and Huot suggest writers use to assess a multimodal composition? The seven sample criteria that Borton and Huot suggest writers use to assess a multimodel composition is, purpose, audience, tone, organized, transitions, synthesizes and detailed. 8. Do the Borton-and-Huot criteria seem similar or different from the criteria we would use to assess a traditional print essay? Why or why not? I believe the sample criteria are similar criteria we would use to assess a traditional essay because we have to use every single one, purpose to write essay, we have to attract the audience and keep them engaged, the tone would be how you the reader will think you would be saying a sentence either if you are angry and say it loudly and fiercely. Then we have organization in what comes first and right to the end. The transition will show how you got from place to the other and there is where detail will come in and show specific detail into where and what the reader sees as if the reader is in the story as well.
