This week, it's time to get down to building our project. Last week, you made a solid plan about what you are creating and the audience you are creating it for. Now it's just time make it happen.
Look back at the reading from Week 12, Melanie Gagich's "An Introduction to and Strategies for Multimodal Composing." That essay has some great tips for collecting audio and visual content, as well as instructions for how to cite sources in multimodal texts. This will help you create the basis of your public media project.
Then, you assignment this week is to create a full first draft of your public media project. It's time to actually build the website, record the podcast, create those memes, draft that letter to the editor, etc. Whatever you outlined as your plan last week, it is time to make it real.
I recommend you get as much as you done can on this draft. This will allow you to get a head start on the work for these final weeks and also allow you to receive the most valuable feedback possible. The more you create this week, the less you will need to build in our last weeks, and the more concrete feedback we can give you.
No new reading this week! Work on your public media project!
