In my last post, I talked about the role of multimodal composition in the writing classroom. Since then I have developed my own short film on sexism related to the Santa Clara University campus. In order to clearly share my information, I decided to break the film up into three predominate sections. First, sexism […]
Although multimodal composition seems rather odd in a writing classroom, it allows for information to be communicated in a way that transcends beyond the classroom. Prior to this class, all but one of my English classes has culminated in a final assignment related to a research or final paper. Therefore, when we were told our final assignment […]
I don’t know about you, but my knowledge of creating a short film is extremely limited. The last time I did anything related to developing a film was in my 7th grade Media Arts class. To say the least, I know nothing of how to do this. However, in the age of technology and the […]
My Goal: For my multimodal presentation, I will use a short film because I believe this will be the most effective way to communicate with an audience of Santa Clara University college students. My goal is to identify the blatant forms of sexism occurring in social media, exploit them, then adjust the community to Santa […]
http://www.writeawriting.com/academic-writing/strong-thesis-statement/ It never fails to amaze me how much time one spends writing one particular sentence when drafting an essay. This one sentence could go through 10, 15, even 20 drafts before it is satisfying enough. The string of words I speak of is commonly known as a thesis statement. These 20-30 words represent […]
Currently, my CTW II class is working on a research paper which builds upon the previous assignments we have completed this quarter. My particularly essay directly relates to our Archival Research, Annotated Bibliography, Rhetorical Analysis, and Survey projects. Now, I am beginning the drafting stage of our final paper. http://www.archivespace.net Archival Research: […]
Initial Goals: As a whole, from my survey I hope to learn about the perception and awareness of Santa Clara students view on sexism. In this modern age, people may be more inclined to believe sexism no longer exists since women’s rights are much more equivocal. What my surveyors may not realize is that […]
http://sc16.supercomputing.org/2016/04/26/take-2016-hpc-community-survey-voice-heard/ As we begin the next process in our research project, my CTW II class is asked to create a survey. The survey is a primary source which could potentially be useful in the final research essay. In beginning the process of creating my own survey, I have already had a few challenges and […]
Gender Inequality https://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/do-we-need-to-think-in-new-ways-about-gender-and-inequality/ Similar to my last post, I would like to reflect on another one of my peers presentations from this past week in CTW II. My friend and peer Taylor, discussed the gender inequality on college campuses. Her topic is virtually the same as my own, but it was amazing to see […]
red cups In my CTW II class this week, each of my peers presented on their research and noted various patterns in what they found. One that was of particular interest to me was Graham’s presentation which discussed alcohol consumption on college campuses. http://www.nautilusplus.com/7-reasons-decrease-alcohol-intake/ His presentation focused on three primary categories of college campuses: […]
