As revisions are a major component in the recursive writing process, your revisions should be substantial and include both global and local concerns. This revision may require you to re-organize your material, expand and/or more fully integrate and cite your research, consider the need for further research, revisit your choice of static image or dynamic media by way of your hyperlink, provide more background and context to your introduction, rethink or strengthen your thesis (your call to action), more clearly define the relationship between your text and images, anticipate further your audience’s questions and oppositions, and/or provide a more satisfying conclusion. It is always important to present a polished multimodal argument that attends to grammar and surface issues and proper format as identified by your instructor.
Part 5 asks you to finalize your Multimodal Argument by combining two or more channels or systems of communication that include (1) writing text as argument (2) incorporating static images, and (3) connecting a dynamic visual or auditory component via a hyperlink into a single multimodal project.
Together, in one unified multimodal argument, all three communication modes should (1) educate an audience of non-engaged stakeholders about the topic you have been exploring, (2) engage this audience by convincing them that they should care about this issue, and (3) empower the audience to agree with your call to action.
Your final Multimodal Argument requires
- a textual construction that includes linguistic and spatial constructions in the writing of a 1,200 – 1,400-word essay that incorporate compelling and persuasive evidence that supports your thesis;
- a visual component, which strategically integrates a total of two static images (photograph, diagram, infographic, graph, map, and/or drawing) that support your argument in important ways. Vary the type of static visuals to avoid including two of the same type;
- one dynamic media component via a hyperlink of an appropriate word or phrase that intentionally merges a single video or podcast of two minutes or less into your multimodal argument in meaningful ways.
- an introduction and thesis, all major points, full integration of multimodal components, convincing evidence and rhetorical appeal strategies that support these points (including in-text citations from appropriate sources), and a Works Cited page.
- an integration of at least 5 credible sources, not counting the 3 sources that document your 2 static visuals and your hyperlink connection.
