The final project, the multimodal project, consisted of a brochure, fact sheet, blog, and flier. The purpose of this project was to raise awareness on a chosen scientific topic. Multimodal means that the composition is introduced in more than one media. In this project, digital and print were the two mediums utilized to disclose the topic. While revising my blog, flier, and fact sheet, I wanted to be certain that I avoided repetition, while my data and arguments remained consistent in each portion of the project. 

The informative review, the second major assignment, is a paper that provides insight to a scientific research topic. Its writer presents recent studies on the topic, highlighting crucial trends observed within the research. In conveying this information, the writer must not give their perspective on the topic. The major focus in revising my informative review, which was also a challenge, was ensuring that I did not express a stance, or present as having one throughout my writing. I had to be very careful in explaining the scientific evidence that I used in the informative review so as to not come off as supporting a certain side or holding a specific standpoint regarding the topic.

The first major project of the year was the scientific narrative. A scientific narrative is a method of scientific communication in which the author composes their work in a storytelling manner. Scientific narratives must include characters, a plot and setting, as well as a message regarding the scientific topic of choice. In revising the scientific narrative, I added more characters, emotion, settings , and sequence to my story, based on the critiques of my peers. This revision process enhanced my view of an ideal scientific narrative, which should be notable for its sentimental detail rather than scientific data or information.

Formulate and articulate a stance through and in your writing –

The audience should be able to grasp the author’s perspective and feelings, which must be devised and voiced by the writer, if the genre calls for a stance to be expressed. There shouldn’t be any uncertainty pertaining to the author’s standpoint.

Engage in genre analysis and multimodal composing to explore effective writing across disciplinary contexts and beyond –

Analyzing diverse categorizations of writing assists writers with identifying the process or method that is most desirable to implement. Additionally, writers can test their writing skills by applying a collective approach to unveil their subject or argument.

Develop and engage in the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes –

Writing is a task that will often require cooperation between peers, where the writer should make improvements. Social aspects can provide instruction on how the writer could best build on their work. 

Negotiate your own writing goals and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situation –

With the variety of writing techniques that a single topic can fit into, a writer has to take time to identify the genre that they will be utilizing, and consider how they want to execute this. Also, the writer has to plan the layout of their work so that it’s direct and comprehensible.

Enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment –

As a writer, you must be eager to spend time perfecting your work and be capable of correcting it when necessary. Having some errors in the construction of your writing is an inevitable difficulty that most writers will have. It’s your potential to recognize these mistakes and adjust them that makes the difference.

Acknowledge your and others’ range of linguistic differences as resources, and draw on those resources to develop rhetorical sensibility–

Diverse backgrounds are a spectacle on how pivotal it is to be willing to accept new suggestions and ideas in advancing our linguistic skills. Simply understanding these distinctions is a major step in a writer’s receptivity with regards to how they choose to develop their rhetorical expression to fit the needs of their audience(s).
