On TTT In April and May 2022 we met together to jigsaw back and forth between a recent Assessment Framework for Multimodal Composing and looking at actual multimodal work -- both by us and by students. We would love to have your input into this work!

Christina Cantrill and I (along with a few others) are seeing the Assessment Framework (linked above) as an opportunity to deepen our understanding and practice with multimodal composing.

Specifically, for several weeks on on TTT, we are read and commented on the Framework, then we invited people to present multimodal work for conversation with the domains of this framework in mind.

  This week, on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, Sam Reed III has invited us to have conversations about his multimodal composition on Medium https://medium.com/@sriiiconsulting.. We are planning to have participants meet in domain groups -- Audience, Mode and Meaning, or Originality -- comment on the text of the Framework and talk about Sam's multimodal work by considering the questions within that domain -- and talking to Sam about his making process. Then we'll come together as a whole group to talk more, both about Sam's work and the Framework for Assessment.

  Lexxis,Yudelka, and Christal are fellows in a Noyce-STEM program for students who are starting their graduate studies in Educatioin at Lehman College

  Marina Lombardo, Jane Higgins, and Paul Allison are members of the New York City Writing Project and this is our third workshop with the Focus-on-STEM fellows. This is our email to the fellows the day before this video.

   

  We are looking forward to our session tomorrow, Friday April 29th, 4:00 - 5:30 PM. Please allow me to emphasize that this is not a lecture format where you can watch while doing something else. We really want to get to know YOU more and we will be asking you to actively participate with us in a Kumospace Focus-on-STEM Workshop 04.29.2022 - An Interconnected Framework for Assessment of Digital Multimodal Composition. There is more about this in Jane's original email.

   

  HERE'S WHY I'M SENDING THIS:  Marina and I have planned a session where you will be reading and thinking about MULTIMODAL COMPOSITION. We want YOU to bring with you tomorrow links to a MULTIMODAL project you have done -- either for a class OR just in life! Do you have an Instagram account that you wouldn't mind sharing? Do you have a TikTok channel? ANYTHING! It can be related to your work as a student OR NOT -- as long as you are comfortable with sharing it publically with us.

   

  SO... please be ready to SHOW and TELL by bringing something with you to tomorrow's meet up. Let's have some fun together -- and we'll learn some important things about assessment of multimodal composition.

   

  See you soon!

  TTT 04.13.2022 An Interconnected Framework for Assessment of Digital Multimodal Composition

  Chris Sloan and Marina Lombardo have volunteered to get things started.

  Chris will offer a couple of multimodal compositions by his high school seniors to consider:
  

  • Teachers reflect on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 (text and video). Kind of interesting because the student who made the video used only fair use images from the Library of Congress
  • School's back – and so is Omicron (photo, text, video diary)

  Marina says that her third graders just "created videos articulating their math thinking using either Minecraft or legos." She also has "a digital book where the whole class collaborated to create artwork."
