nstructions In this module you are learning about active reading and multimodal texts. The assignment in which you design and annotate a multimodal document such as a bookmark demonstrates how well you learned the content of the module and can apply it by teaching other students how to read actively with the teaching tool being the text you design. You have been learning new strategies for reading complex texts and saw how much they can affect your success of that reading. Keeping these strategies in mind as you progress through school could make a big difference in your understanding of course material and success in college. But after completing this module, it might be helpful to have a simple, easy-to-use document that reminds you and other students how to employ the strategies they learned about. Your job for this assignment is to help make the process of active reading - and its benefits - clear for students at Saint Leo University. You will design a document (brochure, flyer, poster, infographic, or bookmark) for other students at the institution to help them understand and implement the active reading strategies. The document should be appropriate for other SLU students you know - on campus students should consider a document appropriate for placement in the CAVE:; online students might design a PDF that could be added to LionSHARE or the Library's website. The teaching aid should be helpful and approachable to the students whom you wish to reach. Note: Because this assignment is not a traditional written assignment, expect to spend more time than usual on planning, strategy, and layout/design. Your task is to design a multimodal document teaching your fellow classmates about active reading, its techniques, and its benefits. 1. List the active reading strategies identified in the texts you read for this module. Decide which ones will be included in the document you design to teach fellow SLU students about active reading. 2. Decide the look, design, and platform (brochure, bookmark, flyer, poster, infographic) for your teaching aid. _ |s there a template available that can save you the trouble of designing the layout of the page?
