Microtheme Project

Turns out that the one-page paper is exactly what dr. kyburz had said. When she said that the paper was to be only one page, I thought the paper would actually be a lot easier and simple to complete. After all, cramming a lot of information and being able to impact the audience is a very hard task to do within just one page. I do feel like, however, this is a useful technique to learn. For years, we have been given loads of pages to express ourselves, and we often find ourselves looking for more information to add. In the this microtheme paper, irrelevant information must be excluded and only information necessary must be within the paper. What makes this assignment fun to work on is that we discuss issues that matter or a topic we can easily argue about. In my case, I chose to write about subsidized sports stadiums because I enjoy sports a lot, and it’s also a topic I can form an argument about. Also, this assignment isn’t the basic write a paper and turn in type of assignment. The multimodal aspect of the assignment is another great way to capture student’s attention. I feel like giving students the option to express their ideas in ways other than a paper, is a good way to get them to fully express themselves. I personally will be using a PowerPoint given that my topic is of a more informative sense rather than it being emotionally driven such as drinking and driving. Great assignment!
