MultiModal Reflection

I loved the MultiModal Unit. Not because it was a seemingly easy A, but because it was the chance to expand on a topic in my paper that I was really passionate about in a way that was easy and fun for my class to understand. The course learning outcome that I associated this project with was Purposes and Audience: Students will write with a variety of academic purposes for a variety of audiences. The game I created showed the way I feel about how women and girls are treated in today’s society and how it is setting us back, even if it doesn’t always seem like that. At first, I assumed my audience was men but once I started working I realized that as a woman, I had said some of the phrases written on the put-down cards and quickly broadened my audience. I found that everyone was guilty of thinking or saying the put-down phrases even if the words were spoken without hurtful intentions. When I watched my game being played, I found it very interesting that the audience was not exactly receptive and almost mocked the phrases that I had compiled. My game was not intended to make anyone feel bad or to call a certain group of people out, it was created to show that everyone is guilty of saying the things on the cards and people need to be aware of the impact of their words. I am very proud of my game and hope that my words and thoughts made an impact on the people that read them.
