The chapter on Analyzing and Composing Multimedia Texts has been revised and greatly expanded, providing students with the tools they need to negotiate the various media now available to them. It has two main goals: 1 to help students better understand how to integrate visual, video, and audio enhancements into appropriate writing situations; and 2 to give students the analytical tools to make sound rhetorical choices in the use of those enhancements.
In many cases, students already have more experience than their teachers in those technologies, but this chapter can help students use them more thoughtfully and effectively. Shaping and Drafting sections connect the processes of planning and drafting, reinforcing the recursive nature of writing processes. These revised sections also help students consider where they might embed multimedia elements. A revision to the chapter on Responding to Literature will help students connect the skills of literary analysis to other techniques of critical, rhetorical reading.
Focusing upon storytelling in both fiction and creative non-fiction, this chapter helps students forge connections between aesthetic and rhetorical skills, and see that all writing has creative elements. Write-to-learn and low-stakes writing prompts help writers improve their critical-reading skills, prepare for each assignment, and practice strategies for understanding their purpose, audience, genre, and social context. Peer Response guidelines in each chapter help student writers give and receive constructive feedback, whether via an in-class workshop, a take-home review, or an electronic exchange of drafts.
It demonstrates moments from early brainstorming to final editing where students can learn collaboratively. These learning objectives have also been embedded more thoroughly in the specific parts of each chapter to reinforce the learning goals of each section. Applying What You Have Learned sections now end each chapter. These three possible capstone writing assignments — varying across academic, public, and personal writing situations — are easily adapted to the course goals.
This encourages students to practice these skills in a wider array of situations, reinforcing the learning outcomes of the course.
