Freewriting Ideas for Multimodal Project


My group and I started talking about possible topics for our multimodal project and we came up with some interesting ideas. Our initial thought was that we wanted to do something that was relevant to the Clemson University campus or student body because it is the area where we will be implementing our argument and directing our opinions to. The idea I think we are going to elaborate on is the planned destruction of the area on campus including the Johnstone dormitory and the Student Union. It had been planned by the University that these areas will be torn down and replaced in 2011 which seems somewhat unnecessary. These decisions will certainly affect students coming into Clemson in the future as well as some that may already be here. We plan to possibly produce alternative solutions for the renovations that are needed for these buildings and gain awareness about the Clemson budget and how the money is being distributed. We also plan on making a video and possibly a facebook group addressing the issue because these are two multimodal forms we think can be easily accessed and are very influential and effective.
