This week’s class began with discussions of our essays which were based on the prompts listed in the website link provided. Then came the topic of hedging a piece of writing. Hedging entails speaking more softly to come across as modest rather than haughty. It is more accurate in reporting outcomes and less likely to face opposition from readers and critics. It includes swapping out big phrases.
We were shown an amazing example of a multimodal text. We were asked to understand and interpret the text in ways we find to be useful. After that, we were divided into groups and asked to discuss how we can convert our monomodal argumentative essays into multimodal ones.
