Multimodal Reflection Blog

While writing my Multimodal Essay i had to think about who this essay would appeal to most. after doing all my research and finalizing the first couple of paragraphs, i decided that my audienced would be teachers and parents of elementary students. I think my purpose for writing about improving skills by using the internet, was to help these teachers realize that the internet is not all bad and it can help these kids start learning at an early age. Also to help them see that they could improve these childrens future by introducing them at a young age.

In my Mutimodal Essay, I was most proud of the information I found and the way that i placed them. As i wrote the information, it seemed to come together nicely and fall in place. If i could have improved anything it would be my sources page. I couldn't really find where the information came from even though they did happen to place their names by their statements. It was kind of hard to place the phrasing to the voice. I think that I did in fact put alot of time into my essay seeing that i thought it was due last monday(ha ha rebecca) but that extra week let me gather my findings better and make sure that i was in fact fine with how it ended up.

As for my comments, i think that i indeed made it seem harder than what it really was. When we first started this essay, i thought to myself oh no here we go. but as time went on and i became familiar with the program in itself, i had fun. i thought my title was pretty interesting and actually very informative. while doing my research i also found alot of information that i didn't even know about. It was great. I was actually a little upset because when i tried to research my title, i had a hard time coming up with anything for the first few tries, it was quite frustrating. I don't know if I couldn't figure out good keywords or if i was putting in the wrong information. All in all I think the project was interesting and informative. I don't know if I would voluntarily do another one but it was good while it lasted:)

I'm glad you finished early, like me! it was a relief to have a few days off to do nothing English related. The only thing you didn't do in the blog is state your topic, but I think I figured out it has something to do with Education and technology. The extra days to review it probably helped out your multimodal a lot.

I finished my project early too. Since your topic sounded like it was with eductaion and technology, im sure there was a ton of info. Hopefully you grade is a good one!
