Outline:<\/h3>\n
Introduce this activity by encouraging students to think specifically about what they need to find or create for their multimodal assignment. The more descriptive they can be in thinking through their various multimedia needs, the more direction they will have when searching for the content.<\/p>\n
After students have completed the worksheet, have them discuss their brainstorming results with a partner. In talking through their content needs together, students can help each other identify potential ideas and sources for their project.<\/p>\n
Instructor\u2019s Notes:<\/h3>\n
The worksheet covers an array of different multimedia types and it works well for open-ended assignments where students have a choice in what type of media they create. Direct students to fill out only what applies to their project, or modify the Microsoft Word version to fit your specific project needs. This activity works best when students have identified their topic and medium and have already begun to think about the specifics of their project.<\/span><\/p>\n
Brainstorming the various multimedia sources needed for a project is only one step in the planning process. The <\/span>Storyboarding<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Podcast<\/span> Planning<\/span><\/a> activities provide worksheets and resources to help students with the next steps in planning.<\/span> The <\/span>Finding and Citing Creative Commons Images<\/span><\/a> activity guides students through finding and providing attribution for Creative Commons images. Students can search for and then evaluate a multimedia source, using the worksheets in the <\/span>Expanding Evaluation Strategies for Traditional and New Media Sources<\/span><\/a> activity.<\/span><\/p>\n
