Multimedia writing theories should be between 750 and 1,000 words in length. You can approach the multimedia theory of writing as a three-part discussion of the following questions:
What is successful multimedia writing (noun)?
What is successful multimedia writing (verb)? Another way of approaching this one is: what is a successful multimedia writer?
How does successful multimedia evolve?
You should use your portfolio artifacts (project #1 or project #3, project #2, and your selection of 3 composing exercises and/or blog posts) to show how your writing over the course of the semester demonstrates the principles of multimedia writing you discuss. Be sure to either:
Link your portfolio artifacts in your theory of multimedia writing; or
Embed these portfolio artifacts in your multimedia writing theory.
As discussed in class (thanks, Riley, for the question!), if your work is composed directly on your website or other platforms like Canva, include the original versions plus the revised versions. If your artifacts are saved as Google docs, make sure Prof. Anglesey has editing
Writer's Reflection
Writer's reflection: An analytical reflection (approx. 250 words) addressing the following:
What were your goals for this project?
What rhetorical and design choices did you make, and why?
How did you use specific multimedia elements (e.g., images, sound, video) to support your written message?
What challenges did you encounter, and what did you learn from them?
