Aram's Qs for July 17

1. Drawing inspiration from the Shipka reading, what strategies or ideas do you have for assessing multimodal, task-based projects?

2. Do you think multimodal, task-based projects can help us shift away from what Inoue calls a "whitely disposition?" If yes, how so?

    Aram,
    In answer to your second question I was thinking how a multimodal based project can work to the students strength. If that's the case, students can choose what they know and feel comfortable with, rather than a teacher dictating what everyone must do all the time without any leeway.

    Hi Aram,
    In response to your second question I think that multimodal task-based assignments have the potential to shift away from "whitely disposition". However, this is dependent on the approach of instructor and that of the participating students and how willing they are to challenge the established expectations of language. These projects allow students to express themselves creatively beyond that of an essay, which encourages alternative approach and voice when tackling the task at hand.
