The multimodal project seemed very easy to me at first but as I continued to work on it I realized it had several underlying layers I had to consider and it become much more challenging.  I enjoyed looking online for varying pictures to display my viewpoints and I got to practice using a new program so that I could edit some of the pictures.  However, it was difficult to figure out how to transition from my introduction to my main points while also incorporating the opposing view points.  If I had more time I would have added additional pictures that added to my claim and continued to edit my powerpoint.  I chose to work on normal excel powerpoint so I did not use any new sources/modes, but I think it was the best mode to use for my multimodal.  I have never done a project even similar to this, so it was a very different process than I am used to.  I created a reverse outline and tried to find pictures that I thought represented my main points and ideas but these were not always possible to find, so I had to edit my original draft a good amount.  After much editing, I have a lot of clever and thought-provoking slides in my multimodal that really express my thesis and side clearly.  I really discovered my ability to think about the same topic in a different way, and presenting the same thesis visually really helped develop new layers to my original argument.  It gave me the chance to express my thesis and reflect on how best to display it.
