Jody Shipka. A Multimodal Task-Based Framework for Composing.

Shipka, Jody. "A Multimodal Task-Based Framework for Composing." CCC 57.2 (2005): 277-306.

Abstract:

This essay presents a task-based multimodal framework for composing grounded in theories of multiple media and goal formation. By examining the way two students negotiated the complex communicative tasks presented them in class, the essay underscores the benefits associated with asking students to attend to the various motives, activities, tools, and environments that occasion, support, and complicate the production of academic as well as everyday texts.
