I’m still not 100% sure about my multimodal project. So here are some of my ideas:

– Use a combination of apps to make an animation with audio (Sketchbook Motion & whatever that robot voice maker I have is called).
– Make webcomic(s)… perhaps with the robot voice maker reading the text because I think it’s that amusing.
– I always try to find a way to use tumblr for school projects, so I won’t rule it out completely but it’s unlikely to happen… I think.

I would take a similar approach with the first two options: depict a student writing process, illustrate challenges, ideas from the texts, attempt to define “writing” unsuccessfully, ending in my theory of writing. This sounds super long, but I’m sure it can be condensed. What’s most important to me is that it conveys some sort of message while not being extra boring. With the first option, I’d draw some really awful pictures on Sketchbook Motion, then use the animation tool. Then I could email it to myself and record it on one device while using the robot voice thingy on another. I want to add text too, but I won’t be sure about where until I get there. <— This sentence is looking really messed up to me right now 😔 no matter how I rewrite it.

So, in summary, I’ll be drawing some stuff somewhere & adding text and/or audio to it. Oh! Maybe I’ll post it to tumblr and somehow manage to incorporate all three ideas. And “ball-handling” absolutely has to come up, of course.
