Multimodality: This is when you use different ways to share your ideas, like writing, pictures, videos, and websites, to make a strong point in various formats such as ads, posters, news stories, websites, and movies.
-Non-engaged stakeholder: This is someone (or a group of people) who doesn’t really care about the topic being discussed. They’re not involved or interested in doing anything about it.
What You’re Going to Do
Now that you’ve learned a lot about your topic and the people who are really into it (Stakeholder), you’re becoming one of those involved people too (Stakeholder). In your next project (Project II), you’re going to try to make those who don’t care about the topic want to learn more and do something about it.
You’re going to use what you’ve learned from your research and how to appeal to people to teach, get their attention, and inspire them to take action. You will share your ideas through both a website (your teacher will tell you which). You’ll show your project to others either in your classroom or online.
This project is a big deal because it brings everything you’ve learned so far together. You’ll use your understanding of how to persuade people to agree with you. Using what you know about different people’s views from your first project, you’ll share information to get your audience interested in your topic. Lastly, you’ll use visuals to support your message and encourage people to do what you’re asking.
Your Task (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUpiy67_nt4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUpiy67_nt4))
For this project, you need to create something that uses multiple ways to communicate (like text, images, and videos) on a website using https://www.wix.com/ (https://www.wix.com/). You’re aiming to:
-Educate: Tell people who don’t know much about your topic why it’s important.
-Engage: Convince them that they should care about this topic.
-Empower: Give them a push to do something about it. After they visit your website, they should feel interested and ready to take action.
To be clear, here’s what you need to do:
1. Write a short piece: 300-500 words.
2. Make a video: It should be at least 30 seconds long.
3. Include at least one picture.
How It Will Be Graded
Your writing will be checked based on how well you know your audience, how you’ve adjusted your message for the biggest effect, and how you’ve used digital and written forms to motivate people to act. The whole project will be judged by how persuasive it is. Rubric. (https://cookman.instructure.com/courses/16474/files/2929765?verifier=khyHJ02e2raiDuZGrCKdKcxXFnsx8SGQkBEm2f8I&wrap=1)
More About the Website (https://www.wix.com/ (https://www.wix.com/))
Your final website or video should be well-made and carefully put together. At a minimum, your website should have:
– A main page that welcomes and introduces the audience.
– At least three other pages that teach, engage, and encourage action.
– A page that lists all your sources.

Research Requirements
You need to use at least 3 reliable sources. You can reuse some from earlier projects, but you must find at least one new source. Remember, research helps make you believable to your audience and invites them into the conversation about your topic. Think about what your audience might want to know, and use your research to help explain your view and why the topic matters. This helps build trust with your audience and gives them the background they need to understand why they should care and what they can do about it.
Looking Ahead
By completing these projects, you’v
e learned how to explore a topic through research, create arguments using different media, analyze how to make a strong argument both in writing and visually, join ongoing discussions, and add your own voice to the conversations happening in the real world.
