Multimodal Respond to readings




I believe that this article took a very unique approach. It used a comparison to how humans and apes only have a 2% difference in their DNA but that small percentage lead to a huge difference in the development of our species. The article takes on the point that being able to have multiple ways of media very easily has changed literacy for the better. There are now ways for people to create media or literacy just by using the web; along with this, they can have multimodal literacies very easily with technology that almost every has, a phone. People process information differently depending on the means of communication that is being used. For example, someone may learn better from reading or someone may learn better from listening to someone read. There are also people who would rather watch a video that combines audio and visual literacy to get the message across. Another option could be the type of text that someone is reading, how the article is broken down, or literally what the words look like on the page. I believe they are all great means of communication and education should move towards these multimodal styles.

Daily Writing Challenge Reflection on Revision

     Within the revisions, I added more details to the experience I have with coffee. I explained the coffee as my "warm blanket" and expanded on how it made me feel. The peer that I did the revisions with recommended to organize the writing more and make it more of a story. To do this, I started in the early morning and described the routine that I follow. As a morning person, I enjoy keeping things simple and relaxing. In order to add a negative side to the story, I discussed how coffee or this blanket of warmth can stain with just one touch. If there was anything that I could change about my "warm blanket" it would be that I could wear white without fear on the way to school. I also went into detail about what I do if I am heading to an 8am and have no time to make a fresh cup of coffee. It was important to mention the word "addiction" because it does make me the morning person that I strive to be although I would not say I am necessarily proud ...

Before learning about this topic I did not make the concrete connection between spelling and reading. If a student is able to spell by sounding out then they will also most likely be a more successful reader. I also learned that problem-solving techniques for spelling are very similar to reading. Spelling is also very important for writing and making sure that your audience is able to understand the points that you are making.  How did your group planning go? Very easy, we made an iMessage group chat and discussed what we should do.  Did you communicate well? Yes, everyone in the group said when they would be able to work on certain aspects of the project and it was easy to communicate. Everyone felt comfortable texting and it made it easier to communicate as we are always on our phones. We also all have similar schedules so communication was al...

Daily Writing Prompt 2 (sensory writing)

On this morning, the dark heavy clouds filled the sky and stacked on each other like jenga blocks. The birds sang a triumphant song, it was my first day of running a 5k every single day that summer. As I walked down my front steps, I felt the bounce in my sneakers and the humidity encompassing my body forcing me to sweat. My lips were moistened, it smelled and tasted like a fresh misty day. It was time to start my fitness journey, my mind was ready but my body was not. I was about to be flooded with sweat, racing with thoughts, empowered by the sound of slipknot.
