Understanding and composing multimodal projects
- List the active reading strategies identified in the texts you read for this module.
- Decide which ones will be included in the document you design to teach fellow SLU students about Active Reading.
- Decide the look, design, and platform (brochure, bookmark, flyer) for your document.
- What app works best for designing the kind of document you’re making? Is there a template available that can save you the trouble of designing the layout of the page?
- What color scheme, font make sense for what you are trying to do?
- How can you share things you make in that app?
- Decide what content goes where.
- What do the students you are teaching need to know to be able to read actively?
- In what order do they need to learn those things, and how will they navigate the document?
- What legal graphics, pictures, fonts, colors, spatial layout would help them understand the concepts you are trying to teach them?
- Write your content and build your document.
- Annotate your final document, justifying or explaining the choices you made in it by providing at least 8-10 separate annotations.
