This outcome is mainly about multimodality. Multimodality really helps making more complex statements that convey more emotion and meaning to people. It is able to do this because it doesn't simply just show text, it'll also usually include fresh forms that are more exciting to look at or pay attention to such as images. Tying different ways of writing together is where projects really start to become strong because they are not just one dull way. This outcome is still relevant in a non-emotional sense. For example, graphs help out research papers to become clearer or social media posts appeal to peoples' attention spans faster.
Best Artifacts
The two best artifacts for this outcome are the ePortfolio itself and the . The ePortfolio, as said before, showcases images, text, and interactive experiences. The ePortfolio helps me understand and meet the outcome by directly implementing multimodality. If it was simply text, I don't think anyone would read it other my professor because he had to. However, because of these different rhetorical and functional appeals, it becomes an important literary technique. The presentation uses a slide presentation, which is already multimodal in itself due to the mix in visuals and text. However, where this really sticks out is me actually presenting and speaking about it. Speech and hand motions are a part of multimodality which let me further intrigue the audience rather than just popping up a stale blob of text for everyone to read themselves. Both of these artifacts are also pretty important to me personally, as I used to make business pitches and will likely in the future, as well as make websites. Without multiple ways of writing, these wouldn't of carried much meaning.
