Multi Media Artifact

 


Create a multimedia artifact that fulfills a common educational purpose.


  1. Select a significant purpose typical of your discipline/grade level.


My name is: Brynley Rozsa


My content area/discipline is: English Teaching


The grade level I plan to teach is:  6-12


The typical educational purpose I will address is: Creative Writing Class


Some examples are:

  • Advertise an athletic clinic, club, event, or special program

  • Advocate for the value of studying your content area

  • Communicate with parents 

  • Develop materials and resources for parents, school staff, or professional development

  • Document the contributions of an individual or program to the school or community

  • Fundraise for arts, athletics, clubs, electives, or special programs and events

  • Increase enrollment and participation in elective courses, school activities, clubs, or programs

  • Inform the community about exceptional students, teachers, programs, or school needs

  • Promote a community partnership, professional initiative, resource program, or school activity

  • Provide content-related instruction, scaffolding, or tutorials for students

  • Recruit parent volunteers

  • Etc.


My reason for choosing this purpose is: I hope to teach a creative writing class at my school when I am a teacher! I think that creative writing is such a fun, valuable course. It will really help kids to learn how to enjoy reading and writing.

  2. Create the artifact, ensuring it fulfills intended purposes.

6)  What have you done to try to evaluate sources for bias and avoid biased portrayals of diverse identities?  Why is this important? I

I just thought about the most effective and enticing posters that I have personally seen advertising for clubs and classes. I wanted to design a poster that was inviting to everybody. I think that there are a lot of ways that you can push people away from what you are trying to advertise. I used bright colors, big font, and key words to invite everyone to join what I was advertising.

I love this idea! I also did a flyer for a creative writing club/class and it is super fun to see the very different approaches that we took to achieve a pretty similar goal! It seems as though we both tried to appeal to students that may not normally want to participate in something like this. I really like the simplicity in what you created. I like the statement at the top about how it is through words and ideas that we change the world. I also really like how you are encouraging them to "learn how to enjoy writing" because isn't that really the dream that we have for our English students? We want them to love it and find the power in it and I feel that your poster really encapsulates that. I wonder if there was any reason behind the colors and design that your chose for the poster? It looks really good!
