Multimodal Statement draft
Three important modes I plan to incorporate into my essay are visual, spatial, and audio. Visual will require me to use pictures and other visual aspects to connect my essay together. I plan to focus on life pictures that have special meaning. This will allow the reader to read my life story and the importance of it and connect it with visual representations. I want to evoke the feelings of the reader so that my essay has more meaning to them. This will allow for a stronger message to be translated. I want my reader to feel as if they are in my life. This can be done through proper images that give perspective. Spatial mode is a very important part of this essay. The way words, sentences, and pictures are arranged within the paper can drive home the meaning of my essay. Having text wrapped around a picture or organizing my paragraphs in a certain way will add meaning. The layout and position of phrases and specific words can show the reader that this part is important and should not be glanced over. Audio mode is going to be a more difficult mode to translate in my paper. This could involve providing hyperlinks, such as the narrative podcast, so that the reader can follow important parts within the essay. I want this mode to provide emphasis on certain words or phrases so that the reader stays interested yet informed.
