Multimodal text analysis and discussion

Directions: For Your Initial Post, please make sure you meet all recurring requirements for the Multimodal Discussion Board (see p. 6 of the syllabus) and the specific requirements for this Module. This Module, you will download and complete The Text Says/I Say template posted below. This assignment can be adapted and used with adolescent learners, too. The purpose of this assignment is for candidates (and students) to talk with and to the texts you (and they) are reading. You (and they) can make text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections. In other words, students can make connections to their own experiences, other texts, or things that are happening in the world. Specifically: 1) Please choose one text to focus on in-depth and identify it using the author and/or title and year. (Yes, you must still address this text in your Text Log) 2) Select 5 quotes that interest or confuse you from your focal text. Copy those quotes into the left-hand column of the attached template. Please dont forget to include the page number! 3) In the right-hand column, record some of your thoughts about each quote.

That means you must make a connection to at least one other text somewhere in your assignment (e.g., “This quote is similar to when X says…” or “This interpretation of multimodality is different from Y’s interpretation because…” or “Z gives an example of X’s definition of multimodality when…”). Please remember that your Initial Post must always include multiple (i.e., at least 2) modalities, e.g., printed text, images, audio, video, etc. Your Initial Posts must represent your own original work (e.g., a stick-figure drawing you made of a classroom scene, not a picture you copied and pasted off the internet). After you have uploaded your Initial Post, you will need to post 2 responses to your classmates (responding to either their Initial Posts or their responses). Please review the requirements for responses on p. 6 of the Syllabus.
