- 3. ENC1143, or Writing with Evidence and Style, is a class offered to all students at the University of North Florida. It allows students the opportunity to learn all about proper writing in different forms, with the use of evidence when necessary. The four main topics you will learn and master are basic concepts of academic discourse, evidence-based writing, synthesis writing, and writing about change. 2021 MULTIMODAL PROJECT 3 Introduction
- 4. Academic Discourse Academic discourse focuses on the writing and communication we use when we take part in academic discussion and learning. It allows us to communicate our thoughts and opinions in the way we view the world as individuals. Examples of academic discourse include presentations, lectures, textbooks, journals, articles, essays, etc. 20XX MULTIMODAL PROJECT 4 MULTIMODAL PROJECT 2021 4 https://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=sxUPGnidqOo ^ Watch this video to learn more!
- 5. Evidence-Based Writing In evidence-based writing, one must use other sources as support for your ideas and claims. These sources, such as facts from journals and academic articles, that are part of the research must be credible themselves in order to help make your arguments credible as well, so that your claims are supported by valid statements. As a result, your audience is more likely to be persuaded by your statements and evidence. To be more specific, this evidence is presented as in-text citations within your writing, as well as a list of bibliographies in APA or MLA, depending on the circumstance. 20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 5 MULTIMODAL PROJECT 2021 5 ^ Watch this video to learn more! https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1yjWKuXafNs
- 6. Synthesis Writing The word “synthesis” means “combing”. In synthesis writing, you are putting together different ideas and connections into one to create one solid argument. In order to keep your thoughts together and organized, you should sort through your sources and examples, design and outline your format, use paragraph structure with topic sentences in each, and go back through the whole thing a couple times to proofread. That way your arguments and claims will be clear and easy to read. 20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 6 2021 MULTIMODAL PROJECT 6 ^ Watch this video to learn more! https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=D3Gjz26EvoY
- 7. Writing About Change When you write about change, you can choose a topic that you are very interested in that you feel requires a change in present time. It can be about almost anything, as long as you can find valid and credible sources that support your claims. For example, a topic I wrote about in this class was how art therapy should be valid form of rehabilitating people with Parkinson’s Disease. 20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 7 7 MULTIMODAL PROJECT 2021 ^ Watch this video to learn more! https://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=wydBolMxL7c
