Group Multimodal Project
Final Ideas



Our group decided that our final project will be a satirical argument concerning the protection of squirrels on the Clemson campus. We will be satirizing PETA and their efforts to protect other animals in an effort to direct attention towards the demolition of Johnstone and other areas on campus which we think could cause problems in the future. For this project, we plan to create a brochure and a movie in which we express our ideas about the squirrels and how turning Johnstone into the Tommy Bowden Memorial Sanctuary for squirrels and other wildlife will be beneficial. We have already found various pictures of squirrels on the internet as well as information regarding the testing of squirrels which we can use in our report. We want to create the movie in a way that is similar to the commercials you see TV with celebrities asking for money to help the animals with the depressing music playing in the background. This will allow us to use different rhetorical appeals in our project in an effort to persuade our audience, or Clemson students and affiliates of the university. We also plan to make a facebook group because it is an easy way to reach out to students and they can easily get involved by joining.
