Description

Overview

Since you have been engaged in investigating a particular issue, you have become familiar with multiple perspectives that inform your knowledge. You are, indeed, a stakeholder who is invested in the outcome of the issue you have been researching, and in this assignment, your objective is to convince an audience who is uninvolved, unconcerned, uninterested, or not invested to find value in your argument and to agree to your call to action. Such a task requires you to invite your audience into the conversation about your topic by anticipating the kinds of questions they might have and providing them with the kind of information that they would need to decide to take the action you recommend. You’ll want to make good use of your written and visual evidence as you give your audience reasons they will value as you educate, engage, and empower this non-engaged audience through the writing of your multimodal argument.

Skills & Strategies

This Part 1 assignment will help you to

  • build on information literacy, visual analysis, and critical thinking skills
  • expose you to different modes of composing
  • analyze the stakeholder’s reasons for non-engagement and the potential to become engaged and empowered
  • apply effective rhetorical strategies to educate, engage, and empower
  • substantiate your multimodal argumentative essay with research and evidence
  • consider your rhetorical choices related to the multiple modes of construction included in your Multimodal Argument and the way they convey your intended meaning
  • identify and develop organizational strategies that contribute to the effective delivery of information and presentation
  • construct an introduction and a call to action thesis that concludes what you determine is a reasonable solution to the problem you have conveyed
  • write a conclusion that highlights the main points and considers forward-thinking research ideas for research/action
  • cite sources according to the assigned requirements

Description (and Step by Step)

Project 3 incorporates the skills and strategies that you have developed over the last two ENC 1102 projects. More specifically, prior to this assignment, you have selected a non-engaged stakeholder, drawn on the credible sources of the research you have conducted in the past two projects, recognized the rhetorical choices stakeholders made in designing images that best represented their goals, and created substantial content by answering guiding questions. You are now ready, in Part 2, to construct the intermediate draft of your multimodal argument.

Part 2 asks you to create a multimodal argument that aims (1) to educate an audience of non-engaged stakeholders about the topic you have been exploring, (2) to engage this audience by convincing them that they should care about this issue, and (3) to empower the audience to agree to your call to action.

You’ll construct this multimodal argument by combining two or more channels or systems of communication that include (1) writing text as argument (2) incorporating static images, and (3) connecting a dynamic visual or auditory component via a hyperlink.

Together, in one unified multimodal argument, all three communication modes will (1) educate an audience of non-engaged stakeholders about the topic you have been exploring, (2) engage this audience by convincing them that they should care about this issue, and (3) empower the audience to advance your cause by taking action in some defined way.

More specifically, your multimodal argument requires

  1. a textual construction that includes linguistic and spatial constructions in the writing of a 1,000 – 1,200-word essay that incorporates compelling and persuasive evidence that supports your thesis;
  2. a visual component, which strategically integrates a total of two static images (photograph, diagram, infographic, graph, map, and/or drawing) that support your argument in important ways. Vary the type of static visuals to avoid including two of the same type;
  3. one dynamic media component via a hyperlink of an appropriate word or phrase that intentionally merges a single video or podcast of two minutes or less into your multimodal argument in meaningful ways.

Your Multimedia Argument

You should think of your multimodal argument as more than the static words on a printed page. Rather, embrace your multimodal argument as a balance of thoughtful static and dynamic images and words, as a balance of text and visualization.

Your purposeful incorporation of media compels you to make rhetorical choices as to the type of media to use, the ways in which the media will educate, engage, and/or empower your audience, and the location of where the media will work best in the multimodal argument to enhance, unify, supplement, and/or complement your text. As you recall, in Project 2, you analyzed how a stakeholder’s visual arguments reflected the stakeholder’s goals. In your Project 3 multimodal argument, you now actively assume the stakeholder role as you use effective visual and/or auditory arguments along with written arguments to communicate your message to your non-engaged stakeholder.

Keep in mind that visuals help us to develop ideas in immediate ways, to transcend ideas that blur language barriers, and to understand experiences that language may not be able to convey. Your static and dynamic multimedia will help to guide your audience, convey your message and goals, provide clear emphasis, set a particular tone, build credibility, and help persuade your audience to consider the value of your argument.

Points to remember when using visual images (note: you’re making rhetorical choices for everything you do in your multimodal argument, and guiding your audience is one of those conscious choices):

  • Placement of the static images and your one hyperlink are critical to the effectiveness of the multimodal argument. Images should be large enough (but not overpower the text) to be seen clearly, be of good quality/resolution, and be positioned near the text that the images or hyperlink reference. Be aware the relationship between the text and the image should be clear. In other words, you should reference the image in the text in a way that advances why the image matters to the argument being conveyed. Wrap the text squarely or tightly around the image. Label all visuals with a relevant title and caption that explains the argument of the visual.
  • Give credit to the original source when using images, including bibliographic information in your Works Cited page. Refer to the required formatting guidelines for citing visuals.
  • Introduce your dynamic visual with a hyperlink, which will allow your audience to connect to the video or podcast. Hyperlink an appropriate word or phrase in a sentence of your text that links directly to the dynamic visual. As you referenced your static images in the text, you will also connect the dynamic image or podcast (introduced by your hyperlink) to the larger multimodal argument being conveyed. Reference this source in your Works Cited Page.

At least five credible sources are required for this Intermediate Draft of your Multimodal Argument. You can draw on the relevant research conducted in the last two projects; however, you must include at least 3 new sources that you have not previously used. In addition to these 5 sources, you will document the 3 sources associated with your 2 static visuals and your hyperlink connection.

The following processes will help you to further develop your Part 2 Intermediate Multimodal Argument:

  1. Begin with a creative and transparent title that reflects the critical nature of your research topic and your objective to persuade your audience to agree with your call to action.
  2. Contextualize your chosen topic in your introduction. Identify the problem related to your topic, let your audience know why your topic is important and why they should care, and include a call to action thesis that concludes what you determine is a reasonable solution to the problem you have conveyed.
  3. Provide a progression of ideas/evidence/appeals in a logical and cohesive pattern in the body of your essay, introducing each paragraph with a topic sentence that positions an important point. Follow each topic sentence with supporting evidence from your research to support your claim. Be sure to anticipate your audience’s objections with a meaningful refutation and logically lead your audience to the call to action. Integrate appropriate evidence from your 5 sources, anchoring your ideas with support by the source’s arguments.
  4. Integrate a total of two static images, photographs, diagrams, infographics, graphs, maps, and/or drawings, that support your argument in important ways. Vary the type of static visuals to avoid including two of the same types.
  5. Include a hyperlink that intentionally connects an appropriate word or phrase to one dynamic media component, which may be a single video or podcast of two minutes or less into your multimodal argument in meaningful ways.
  6. Be sure to use clear transitions as you move from point to point.
  7. Provide source citations according to the required guidelines.
  8. Write a conclusion that highlights your major points and provides realistic forward-thinking ideas for future research/action.
  9. Include a Works Cited page
  10. Proofread your Part 2 intermediate Multimodal Argument.

Running Head: IMMIGRATION Immigration IMMIGRATION 2 Immigration Questions Why is the issue that you have been researching important and timely? What kind of problem does this issue create? Name the issue, and drawing from your previous research, provide some context as to its background, and briefly note what you already know about this issue. The main issue is the lack of official documentation of immigrants living in the United States. It involves all undocumented persons who have been living in the country for over 20 years and those from the recent past. It has created a land in the country through massive protests over the inhumane holding of families by the federal government and the issue of deportation. This issue is very important since in early this year the president of America, Donald Trump declared all undocumented persons be deported, an issue that has brought an outcry from the immigrants and has attracted attention from human rights activists and groups as inhumane. What persons or organizations would be (or are currently) interested in this issue? Why? Who would not be interested in this issue? Why not? Humanitarian organizations and human rights advocacy groups would be so much interested in this issue. This is because the holding and alleged importation of undocumented persons is being conducted without consideration of the international and judicial laws on human rights. This includes the National Immigration Forum, America’s voice, Twin Cities Daily Planet among others. Government organizations would not be interested in this issue since it would act as undermining the power of the presidency as well as his decree on deportation of immigrants. What do you know about the non-engaged stakeholder(s)? If you have a tangible person or group of people in mind, provide information and describe their non-engagement as best as IMMIGRATION 3 you can. If you have a more generic sense of a non-engaged stakeholder, how would you define what characterizes this person or group of people who will be the audience that you persuade? Literacy Green Bay Inc. and Newport Mesa Proliteracy are examples of organizations that are not engaged in this issue. While they provide English literacy to most refugees and immigrants in the US, they have not been involved in sensitization of these immigrants on laws on immigration and registration requirements. The leaders of these organizations will be my audience. Since they are more involved in literacy programs, it is important to sensitize them on how to educate the immigrants on their rights as well as immigration laws of the country. What kinds of questions do you anticipate your audience asking? Some of the questions that they would ask would involve how they would benefit from this involvement, how to reach out to more people and the effect of their involvement on the issue mostly as a result of government intervention. Your multimodal argument has a combination of intended purposes: to educate, engage, and empower. What kind of information do you need to provide to educate the nonengaged stakeholder? Give at least 3 examples. Why do you need this information? Some of the required information includes the benefits of engagement of the organizations in human rights advocacy, the constraints that result from such involvement, the value of human rights to the immigrants, the need to sensitize the immigrants on the respective laws regarding this issue and the value of this support to the immigrants and other human rights advocacy groups. This information is important since, in order to ensure that the plight of the immigrants is addressed by the federal government, these organizations must be aware of what is IMMIGRATION 4 at stake and how to improve existing constraints to opportunities for the organizations and immigrants as well. Appealing to an audience’s sense of reason and logic with facts, examples, statistics, models is an effective way to educate your audience, but what do you think is the most convincing evidence you could provide that might persuade the non-engaged stakeholder that your argument has merit? Name at least 3 points. One evidence is the suffering of the immigrants and their families under holding and due deportation, who pass through these organizations under literacy programs. Another reason is the need to reach more immigrants to enrol for education and literacy programs in the organizations. Also, the increased number of immigrants who are uneducated or lack the knowledge on the reforms and laws regarding immigration, positions which these organizations can handle in their literacy programs. What do you see as possible points of resistance in convincing your audience of the value in engaging in your issue? How will you overcome and refute this resistance without offending your audience? The points of resistance would be the fear of retaliation by the federal government. Also, the fear of loss of other lawful immigrants would be a point of resistance. Additionally, the fear of conversion of the organizations into human rights advocacy groups as opposed to literacy organizations which may lead to revocation of their licenses. In order to overcome this resistance, I would offer to help in this advocacy as well as seek support from other organizations as well as opposed to when they are very few and may be more vulnerable to attack. IMMIGRATION 5 What frame of mind do you want to put your audience in to appeal to their sense of emotion? How might you create an emotional response to your plea to have your audience take on your cause? The best emotional frame to put these organizations would be the concentration on the plight and pleas of these immigrants where some of them are their clients in literacy programs. Another frame would be the illegal holding and separation of family members by the federal government. In order to create an emotional response, I would focus of the beneficial factors of the organizations’ involvement through the creation of good relations with other organizations and the immigrants as well and expansion of literacy programs; immigration laws and reforms. Why should your audience believe in you? What ethos do you bring to the argument? How might you build on the credibility, reputation, or trustworthiness of others who make similar arguments? Think about how your audience could identify with your appeals to ethos. Draw from your research for some examples. These organizations should believe in me since I would be a more involved advocate for human rights, the benefits of their involvement would be massive and the country is a democratic state where one has freedom of expression hence not limiting their involvement. The ethos of humanity through human rights would be developed in the argument. Creation of credibility, reputation or trustworthiness would be built by providing continuous support both individually and incorporating other organizations and abiding by the laws and regulations provided by the state and federal governments. These organizations could identify with humanity through advocacy for human rights as it would show concern and increase support from other groups. IMMIGRATION 6 What kind of action do you think would advance your cause or present a reasonable solution to the problem your issue creates? What are the steps to taking this action? How will you incentivize your audience to agree with this action? What obstacles still stand in your way, and what can you do to remove them? Abiding by the laws and regulations provided by both the state and federal governments on demonstrations, protesting and support or human rights as embodied by the constitution. The steps involve following all guidelines that are required to seek approval by authorities on matters concerning human rights advocacy through protesting, sensitization and awareness creation. One way to incentivize these organizations is by bringing in more organizations and advocacy groups to render support as well as the demonstration of the benefits that accrue such an involvement. The lack of enough manpower in these organizations is an obstacle as well as the reluctance to be seen as human rights groups. They can be removed by creating a clear distinction and boundaries between their roles in the involvement from that of human rights advocacy groups. What tone do you think would be most effective in convincing your non-engaged stakeholder to come around to your way of thinking? Why do you think this tone will be effective, and how will you create this tone? A cheerful and optimistic tone would convince these organizations to offer support for this issue. This is because such organizations need to see the already involved organizations benefitting from such a matter and looking forward to more success. Additionally, it would be effective in demonstrating the eagerness of my involvement in the matter. Your project 3 assignment requires 3 new sources you have not previously used, based on your preliminary responses to these questions, in what direction should your expanded IMMIGRATION 7 research take you? Specifically, in what areas do you need more evidence to deliver an effective multimodal argument? More evidence is required for example in the nature of deportation that the president of United States was talking about and would require substantiated evidence on which immigrants to be deported. Also, the number of immigrants and the period of immigration, their conduct while in the country by abiding by the law and legality of the tasks, jobs and other economic activities that they are involved in. Additionally, the condition of their family members who have been held as well as the nature of the Dream Act that is bound to be passed would also need more evidence.

Call for action against immigration injustices

Introduction
In the past few years, there have been developing immigration issues in the United States
which escalated when the president, Donald Trump issued a decree that all the undocumented
immigrants will be deported back to their countries of origin. The reason for this according to
him is that these people were hurting the economy of the country by engaging in malicious
businesses. This decree led to consequent actions from the federal government where the
authorities held the relatives and family members including children and women to the
immigrants who had already been living in the country. Additionally, there has been continuous
negative mindset development among the authorities and some of the American citizens that
these individuals are ‘illegal’ despite only being undocumented. This has led to their suffering
through termination of work and jobs from their American counterpart, termination of house
renting periods and even discrimination from other documented/legal citizens. In this regard, it is
therefore important to engage all players that would be concerned with the issue and would offer
help and assistance to these individuals in sensitization and creation of awareness in the local and
federal government as well as private institutions and the common citizens over these inhumane
actions. It is also important to call for participation by Literacy Green Bay Inc. and Newport
Mesa Proliteracy in sensitization of the nature of immigration rules and requirements as well as
help in enjoinment of the family members illegally held by the federal government.
In mid-2018, Donald Trump officially declared that all undocumented immigrants in the United
States in the country will and should be deport...
