Unit 3: Day 5
Check-In
Overview
Let’s Review the Assignment
For Project 3, you will repackage what you wrote for either Proj. 1 or Proj. 2 in order to reach a totally new audience. You’ll chose a new genre that you think will best reach that audience and create a multimodal text. You will also write an Artist’s Statement explaining your choices.
STEP 1: Choose Your Audience (Fourth graders, City Tech Freshmen, New York City Council members, Your grandparents or older relatives. Activist groups (like BLM or LGBTQIA+ Youth, etc.)
STEP 2: Choose a Genre (Choose a MULTIMODAL genre!)
STEP 3: Draft Your Multimodal Text (Compose a multimodal text in a genre appropriate to audience and purpose! Your multimodal text should: REPURPOSE or REPACKAGE what you wrote for Project 1 or 2 (Use the research and information you have already compiled! Just repackage it for a new audience in a new genre!), Use Rhetorical Appeals to Strengthen the Message (Provide facts, statistics, and other evidence , Appeal to the audience’s emotions, Provide a logical and well-organized argument), (Maybe) Provide a Clear Call-to-Action for the Intended Audience (How do you want your audience to think, act or behave after interacting with this text?, Write a strong and persuasive call to action that leaves your audiences ready to act or change their thinking!)
STEP 4: Compose an Artist’s Statement
One more example of a multimodal text
