Project 3: Remediation and Technological Tools Analysis

Background: This project will help you gain an understanding of how important it is to know HOW to present information you would like to convey – based on your purpose, audience and the information. 21st century businesses, artists, and communicators often realize how powerful the presentation of their message can be. A savvy creator must understand how the rhetorical implications of media ay affect a text’s audience, purpose and content. In this project, you will learn to adapt content for new audiences using different media. You will gain a better understanding of the implications of your choices as content creators.

Assignment: In this project,

 

you will pick one text of at least fifty words and refashion it using two different media. You will research the historical context of the original text. You will research the history of the media you choose. You will remediate your original text. You will document your process and then you will combine the research and your reflections into an essay. The essay will analyze how your chosen media affected the message of your text.  You will incorporate secondary and primary research into your essay. You will consider how your chosen communication media may have changed, enhanced, or affected the meaning of your original text.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Choose a written text that you would like to remediate two times (SEE ATTACHED LIST FOR IDEAS). The text should be at least 50 words long and previously published – no original work. The text should be approved by your instructor.

DUE _______________

Step 2: Conduct research background on your chosen text. Find a suitable secondary source. You may use Wikipedia as a starting point, but ultimately find a more reputable source. You may want to include a quote from a source discussing your original text.

DUE _______________

Step 3: Choose two media (SEE ATTACHED LIST FOR IDEAS) and create a remediation of your chosen text. YOU WILL NOT USE A REMEDIATION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN CREATED. The media you choose should be two different types and represent a range of historical periods and modalities (written, oral, and visual). That means that if you choose something modern (like a social media) for your first remediation, you should choose something older (like a newspaper article) for your second remediation.

DUE ________________

Step 4: Do background research on each of these two media. You will need to discuss:

· the history of each media

· how each has been used to express ideas or communicate

· how each media is used to reach an audience

· what types of audience these media usually reach

NOTE: You will need to use at least one source about each media.

DUE __________________

Step 5: Remediate your text with your chosen media.  As you compose your remediation, consider how your audience, text, and content changes or evolves.

Note: you will be graded not on the remediations themselves, but on your reflections about them. Your purpose is to prove your ability to think critically about how you used these media to communicate.

· Historical information about how your two media were developed and how they have been used

Presentation Requirements and Tips – Presentations begin Monday March 26

You have 5 minutes. You will be timed. You may speak for less than 5 minutes, but not more!

What you say:

1. Introduce yourself

2. Discuss your original text – Who wrote it? When was it published? Where was it published? Etc.

3. Tell us why you chose this particular text

4. Show us your 1st remediation – If it is a visual, show us. If it is a text, read it to us. If it is long, read part of it. If it is auditory, play it for us.

5. Tell us a little bit about the medium that you used

6. Tell us your intentions with the remediation – What was the message you were trying to convey?

7.

Were you successful with your remediation? Did the audience or tone change with your remediation?

8. Answer any questions from the audience

9. Thank the audience for their time.

10. Appreciate the applause

How you say it:

1. Practice. Do a dry run in front of the mirror or in front of some friends.

2. Take a few deep breaths.

3. Do a couple of tongue twisters. Repeat: Red leather, yellow leather. Repeat: Sheena leads, Sheila needs.

4. Pretend like you are not nervous. Even if you are, unless you are shaking uncontrollably, most of us won’t be able to tell.

5. Speak slowly.

6. Avoid “uuuum” and “like” and other unnecessary “fillers.”

7. If it stresses you to make eye contact, look at the tops of peoples’ heads. It looks like you are making eye contact.

8. Use notecards with bullet points as reminders. Don’t read from them.

9. You can use your hands and some body language, but nothing too distracting.

10. Be proud of your project and have confidence.
