The time has come to complete my last Critical Thinking and Writing assignment for the quarter.
Not that I haven’t absolutely loved this class, but I think I can speak for myself in addition to the rest of my peers when I say we’re all ready for this school year to come to an end. The assignment is to transform my research argument paper into a multimodal project. Whether this be a video, audio essay, image, infographic, website, screencast, or any other form of technology available for me to use, I need to get my creative juices flowing.
I’ll take 12 please and thank you
The thought of making a video terrifies me, especially after writing and composing my ninth grade agricultural biology final project (if you want a good laugh and to see me wearing a stick on mustache check this video out). As a science major, I am used to making informational posters laden with information about whatever research I conducted. One problem: this isn’t technological. Now I’m panicking and thinking great, another humiliating video in the near future.
That’s when I looked at Professor Lueck’s posted powerpoint explaining the assignment more in depth. I realized I didn’t know what an infographic was, and I decided to look at the websites that were capable of making these technological designs. To my surprise, I was greeted with templates that looked very similar to what a scientific poster would look like if it were in an online format. I could feel the juices flowing at this point, and realized that this source would be the best one to use for my project as it was very representative of something you would see in the science community.
