Scholarly Reflection Outline
Scholarly Reflection Outline
1. “Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century” by Henry Jenkins mentions teaching 21st Century Literacies. In the past, literacy was related to reading and writing in print. According to Jenkins, students must have basic literacy in order to interact with new media. They must also learn skills conducive to producing texts in other visual environments
- Raises many concerns for multimodal assignments
- Not all students will be able to dedicate the same amount of time and software on an assignment. This is why reflection is important.
- Students should be allowed to experiment some, so a strict outline or writing style may not be the best expectation.
- Must keep in mind technology restraints and access.
- Must make sure that students are communicating in ways that don't exclude certain members of their class.
2. "Multimodal Instruction: Pedagogy and Practice for Enhancing Multimodal Composition Online."
- Essentially gave me the idea for the assignment and how I would format it.
- Made me realize that in order to teach the assignment I created, I would perhaps need to create an example of my own.
- Dual coding theory, connections to Brain Rules- in order to get students to interact and learn with material in different ways, you should create multimodal materials. Getting them to write multimodally would also help.
- Assignment prompts need clear goals and learning rules.
3. Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing
- The assignment needs to be flexible in order to fit in with the goals of postsecondary writing- it needs to build engagement and curiosity.
- Students need to know the full rhetorical situation (though that is built into the assignment prompt for us as well). Otherwise, you will get students writing to the professor who already knows the subject, which results in a genre of student writing that seems kind of pointless besides assessment.
