What was your purpose for this multimodal text? What rhetorical considerations did you have to take up in writing about this issue/topic for a public audience? How did your targeted audience influence your writing choices about argument, evidence, style, etc.?

​

For this multimodal text, our purpose was to convey a message that showed the audience how difficult it was for Cecelia to go through her experience in Liberia. We wanted the audience to feel her pain that she faced when she had to leave loved ones behind to seek safety in the U.S. 

​

​

What theoretical and/or ethical consideration of writing for public audiences guided your work in this project? How?

​

 I think the variety of modes that we used to convey Cecelia's message. The music we chose created a specific mood for the video. It made the video sound more realistic. 

​

What affordances are offered by the aural, visual, spatial, and gestural modes involved in your video? Now that you’ve completed your video, how do you feel about your choice of mode(s)? Do they allow you to achieve what you wanted to with the piece? Why or why not?

​

What was your writing/composing process like? How did you develop your overarching purpose for the video? How did you go about conducting research, creating and collecting assets for use in the piece?

​

What did you learn through this process that you want to take away with you for future writing situations? What considerations of multimodal writing and/or writing for public audiences do you want to remember for the future? Why? How did your work on this project/in this class help you develop your capacity to be a critical consumer—and producer—of public, multimodal discourse?
