Here we will have the opportunity to turn in assignments and posts that have the capability of embedding images,audio, and videos.
Take advantage of this potential and experiment with a variety of genres and modes of communication. Keep in mind what we keep revisiting in class, AWARENESS & CONSCIOUS decisions in your rhetorical techniques (i.e. double-voicing, fragments, crots, collages, changes in font, size, or color, or use of image and/or sound) is KEY.
We have to think about what we are trying to say and how we are trying to say it. But that's not enough!! Then we have to think how that relationship between WHAT & HOW work together to create a new meaning based on the medium that it is in (i.e. remember how we looked at "the creation of adam" piece, Banksy's street art, and tattos and how each is perceived differently depending on where it is located and the medium it takes)
Remember our objective as rhetorical scholars:
You should have a basic understanding of how particular audiences, genres, and technologies shape reading and writing; how multimodal elements of texts (images, sound, design) can have rhetorical effects; how to choose, critique, and experiment with multimodal elements, genres, or a mix of genres, for a rhetorical purpose (Adsanatham et al.).
Okay--- remember our Oral Narrative Assignment is due Monday. The prompt is posted to BB so go check it out.
Speaking of identity, check out this "Tales of Mere Existence" segment.
