Task 3 asks you to take the research review you wrote in Task 2 and rework it into a completely new, multimodal format—something like a video, infographic, slideshow, or website. The goal is to translate your original analysis into a form that works better for a different audience or purpose, while still keeping the core ideas and arguments. This project emphasizes not just content, but how you communicate that content through visual and/or auditory elements, layout, and tone. In addition to the actual project, you’ll also write an Author’s Statement where you explain why you chose your new format, how you preserved the key parts of your original work, and what the process taught you about writing in different media. Task 3 is about flexibility—how well you can adapt your ideas, your writing, and your communication style to suit new platforms, audiences, and rhetorical situations.
This was my first draft.
This was my final draft.
Receiving full credit on my Task 3 draft from my professor reassured me that I was on the right track, but it didn’t mean I stopped improving. The feedback gave me confidence in my direction, especially in how I translated the original research review into a multimodal format. Still, I spent time refining key elements—from tightening the slide organization to improving clarity in how I explained the article’s weaknesses and added suggestions for deeper scholarly engagement. I also strengthened the visual layout and included a clearer statement of my personal connection to the topic. I chose this project because it let me merge analysis with creativity, and it represents how my understanding of writing has expanded beyond traditional essays. This assignment taught me how to adapt arguments for new platforms, helping me see writing as something flexible—shaped by audience, purpose, and medium. It shows what I’ve learned about clarity, structure, and connecting personal experience with academic content.
