My research paper is finished! But just when I thought my workload was finished, I have more work to do. However, I think this last project for my English class will be fun!
The project is a multimodal project where I would condense my research paper into a visual and/or audio file to represent the main idea(s) of my research paper. I researched the topic of business ethics classes and gender inequality, and need my multimodal project to convey that to a new audience.
I feel that my particular topic will be difficult because business ethics and gender inequality are both abstract ideas that will be hard to convey through a visual image. However, I thought of some ideas that might portray the idea in a creative way. But first let me talk about the awesome projects I got to see in class before I get to my idea.
In class, we saw a few examples of student multimodal projects that included blog posts on Buzzfeed, funny videos, informational videos, and artistic photos. I think the projects that inspired me the most were the photoshopped graphic design that represented the different perspectives on free college as well as the the informational video that highlighted the costs and benefits of social media. The informational graphic had a photo of an elephant and donkey fighting on top of a crumbling white house, representing the Democrats and Republicans arguing about the issue without coming to a compromise or solution, whereas the informational video had soothing background music and effective visuals and text to contribute my better understanding of the topic. Overall, what I liked about these two projects was that it kept me engaged, especially the visual graphic. 
Both of these examples were great multimodal projects. I most likely will create an informational graphic with an artistic element to portray my topic because an informational video about my topic would seem like a bore, and a visual would be more engaging.
