Multimodal Composition for FYC in LEAD Scholars Program
In both Fall 2013 and Winter 2014, I've taught a first year composition course in the LEAD scholars program for first generation college students. I came into the program in its second year and my teaching has been complicated by a collaborative syllabus that the other instructors put together in the year prior.
Below is a digital video that I composed as a reflection on these past two quarters. I touch on the themes and issues of technology, writing, education, research, and community. I plan to reflect more in traditional discursive modes that the video highlights.
