Abstract

Multimodal assignments, while dismissed by some as "creative," are becoming more widely accepted in college composition classrooms. In fall 2016, Wichita State University assigned a multimodal assignment in English 101 for the first time. This essay traces the revision and remaking of this multimodal assignment, reviewing the purposes of multimodal assignments and the benefits of a reflective and collaborative pedagogical practice.
