for this project, I need you to answer the multimedia argument early draft then I wants 2-3 minutes’ video all the descriptions are bellow
Terms You Should Know
- Multimodality: Using different means of communication (e.g. language, images, hypertext, etc.) to construct cohesive arguments in various media (i.e., advertisements, posters, news report, websites, films)
- Non-engaged stakeholder: A person (or group of people) who is uninvolved in or unconcerned with the discussion about an issue and who is not interested or invested in taking action on that issue
Project Description
Now that you have researched your topic, as well as some of the stakeholders who are actively and publicly invested in that topic, you have become an engaged stakeholder yourself. In Project 3, you will persuade non-engaged stakeholders to care about the issue and engage with it by making a call to action.
You will draw on research about your issue or topic and use your knowledge of rhetorical appeals to educate, engage and empower audiences using written, visual, and verbal strategies. You will stake your claim and make your call to action in two media: a) a website or video (as your instructor specifies); and b) a formal essay. You will present your work in a public space either in class or at Rhetoric in Action Day (RIAD).
Project 3 brings all you have done full circle. You will use the understanding of the rhetorical situation that you’ve developed throughout the semester to craft an effective argument that persuades the audience to take the action you recommend. Based on the understanding of multiple stakeholder perspectives developed in Project 1, you will use evidence to educate the audience as a means of securing their engagement with your issue. Finally, you will use the understanding of visual rhetoric that you developed in Project 2 to create a multimodal argument that advocates your call to action.
Project Assignment
Project 3 is comprised of three parts. Note that while the goals of the while the goals of the multimodal and written arguments are the same, each argument achieves its goals by employing the different strengths of that media.
1. Multimodal Argument: You will produce a multimodal argument (video,). This multimodal argument (a) educates an audience of non-engaged stakeholders about the issue or topic; (b) engages the audience by convincing them that they should care about this issue or topic; and (c) empowers the audience to take action in some way. By the conclusion of the essay, the audience should feel both engaged with the topic and empowered to act. The multimodal part of the assignment will be evaluated using the FYC Persuasive Media Rubric.
2. Formal Essay: You will compose an argumentative essay of 800-1000 words that (a) educates an audience of non-engaged stakeholders about the issue or topic; (b) engages the audience by convincing them that they should care about this issue or topic; and (c) empowers the audience to take action in some way. By the conclusion of the essay, the audience should feel both engaged with the topic and empowered to act. The written part of the assignment will be evaluated using the Project 3: Composing Multimodal Arguments Rubric.
3. Presentation: In a public space, students will present their multimodal remediation (or a portion of it) for an audience of their peers. Individual instructors will dictate the specific requirements of these presentations. The presentation portion will be evaluated during the final week of class—either in class or at Rhetoric in Action Day (RIAD).
Assessment
This written part of the assignment will be evaluated using the rubric for Project 3: Composing Multimodal Arguments Rubric, which assesses your ability to display an awareness of audience, to tailor your communication for maximum impact on that audience, and to leverage the strengths of the two media with which you are working (digital and textual) to motivate that audience to act. The multimodal part of the assignment will be evaluated using the FYC Persuasive Media Rubric.
The early draft takes the form of a draft of your multimodal argument (video). The work you do in this early draft accomplishes two goals: preliminary design and content work for the final multimodal argument, and content and idea building for the written argument (both intermediate and final drafts). See the Project 3 Multimedia Argument Early Draft assignment for more details.
