Uptake Week 1 - Akya Lewis

One thing I knew about multimodality is that is more than one way of doing something. Something I learned about multimodality is that it's actually different forms of communication. Something I still want to know about it is it more ways besides the ways mentioned in the text which were visual, gestural, spatial, and linguistic of multimodality. Multimodality is kind of self-explanatory so really most of it is easy to understand and so far, there are no hard parts about it.

 In my drawing, it's two friends giving each other peer reviews on each other's papers. The past antecedent knowledge I had about peer review is basically when somebody else reviews your paper to see if they see any mistakes or give you advice on it. My view on peer review is the same. What I find helpful about it is the fact that you could get someone else's opinion on it which is basically advice. To plan for peer review next week, I will make sure to look at all aspects of the person's paper and to be honest. I am hoping to get back honest feedback myself and I'm not expecting all of it to be only positive things but also honest negative things about it too.

 Before this class, I thought genre meant what type of book or movie you were watching. My definition of genre changed because now I know that it doesn't have to be only books or movies, but it could be anything including music and literature. So, one of my favorite types of genres of books and movies are horror. I love watching horror movies because they are interesting to me and keep me at the edge of my seat. My favorite genre of music is slow, sexy, and R&B which is why Chris Brown is one of my favorite singers.
