Reflecting on Your Project

1. Begin by reading through the feedback that you received from your peer review partners on your project draft.
2. Review the rubric for the project in Canvas, and note places where you still need to work to meet your goals.
3. Think in particular about ways to improve your work. Even if your project seems done to you, you should think about what you can do to make it even better. Note that your effort throughout the project matters so find ways to use the remaining time on the project to improve your work.

Writing a Revision Plan

4. Based on your reflection, compose a revision plan for the project in your word processor, following the instructions on pp. 116-118 of Writer/Designer.
5. Include the link to the current draft of your project in your revision plan.
6. If desired, submit any additional materials that support your revision plan (e.g., a mock-up of a new section, a storyboard for a scene you will add, a chart showing a new design or structure).
7. Submit your word processor file and any other attachments in the Project 4 Revision Plan assignment in Canvas. You’ll find it on the Assignments page.

Expectations for Your Revision Plan

Average (C) Work: Your revision plan answers all of the questions included in the revision plan section of Writer/Designer. It provides simple, basic details on how you will revise the project. It sticks to more cursory changes to the project. For example, a cursory revision would focus on fixing typos and correcting some broken links. Your revision plan will show that you will put in an average amount of effort before you turn in the project.

Above-Average (B) Work: Your revision plan goes beyond simple changes and shows a concerted effort to rethink and improve the current draft of your remix. An above-average plan might talk about cutting or completely rewriting a section of the remix, redesigning the look and feel of a section, and/or changing the way images are incorporated. Your revision plan will show that you will put in a reasonable amount of effort before you turn in the project.

Excellent (A) Work: An excellent revision plan will talk not only about what changes you would make, but specifically how you would change things. Note that you may include whatever makes sense for your revision plan (e.g., a mock-up of a new section, a storyboard for a scene you will add, a chart showing a new design or structure). Your revision plan will show that you will put in a considerable amount of effort before you turn in the project.

Your presentation is worth 10 points of your Project 4 grade. The rubric is available in Canvas, on the assignment page. There is no grace period for presentations, and there are no make-up presentations.

Presentation Requirements

In your presentation, you will present your project, talking about what you did and why you did it. See "Reporting on Your Final Project" (pp. 132–133) of Writer/Designer for more information. It’s okay if your project isn’t quite finished on your presentation day. You will present whatever you have.

Your presentation should show off your project as you explain the following information:

• your rhetorical choices
• your design choices
• your modal choices
• how you took advantages of affordances
• how you worked around any constraints

Your presentation should be 5 to 6 minutes long. The time slots are 7 minutes, to allow for switching between presenters and presentation materials.

Preparing Your Presentation

You can show your presentation in whatever way makes sense for the genre you have chosen. Some people play their remix in completion. Others show only particular sections. You may choose particular sections and embed them in a presentation tool (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi) if you like.

Turning In Your Presentation Link

The day before your in-class presentation, submit the link to your presentation in the "Remix Presentation" assignment in Canvas by 9 PM the night before your presentation. I will use that link to prepare the post for the class session. Late submission will lower your presentation grade.

During Presentations

Please be polite and pay attention to your classmates. During presentations, you should not be fiddling around on your phone or computer. If you are, you will lower your presentation grade.

Likewise, you should be in class and show support and respect for your classmates. If you are absent or not being respectful, you will lower your presentation grade.
