The Five Modes Of Aural And Digital Communication

As Mannes stated, the process of association is essential in determining the quality of art, by comparing it to the other art we have seen. I am able to judge the multitexts I have read in class by using the process of association to compare them to each other. For example, we are able to judge the quality of the pieces by comparing and contrasting them to each other. All three of our multitexts used certain writing models such as analogy poems and dialogue. Cusion’s piece “Blame”, is an analogy poem that he used to build on his multitext, implicitly telling readers

Select a non-discursive artifact such as a painting, a musical composition, a building, or a piece of furniture. Do the five canons of rhetoric—invention, organization, style, memory, and delivery—apply? If they do, explain how you see them manifest in the artifact.

For instance, the video titled “Elephants Show Cooperation”, had an enthusiastic and friendly tone. We can see that when the narrator says “Chimps and Dolphins move over at the smart table, the elephant needs a seat”. Because the narrator uses silly, joke-like phrase like ‘smart table’, it appeals and sounds more friendly to the viewer. The texts, “Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk” and “Elephants Know When They Need a Helping Trunk in a Cooperative Task”, have very different tones. For example, the article, has a conversational tone. The article states, “Elephants know when they need a helping hand- or rather, trunk”. Unlike the video, this article may not exactly show humor, but it’s not monotonous. Because of this, we have a very casual, conversational tone. However, in the article, the tone is completely different. The passage’s tone is a very dry, formal, and informational-like tone. The text states, “The table apparatus was comprised of two pieces of plywood painted and bolted to a rectangular PVC pipe frame 3.3 m wide and 1.2 m deep”. This sentence from the passage, is just a plain, informational sentence. It tells the information and does nothing else. Furthermore, it uses numbers, and goes into extreme detail which adds more to the dry and formal tone. All in all, the sentence is emotionless, and the only purpose of the sentence is to inform. In other words, the video differs from the two texts in ways of

This report explores the three genres of communication within the major of veterinary technology. Its purpose is to inform individuals about how these specific genres are present in this field. Methods, results, discussion and conclusions are discussed. To research these three genres of communication several sources were required. I initiated my researching with internet searches to find more information to support why these three genres of communication are the most significant in the field of veterinary technology.

throughout each text and the use of different genres help the reader reach the theme in individual

In the process of writing, regardless of the form it takes, thesis or narrative for example, the purpose of the piece has several lenses that shape how the reader perceives the material. Of the less important lenses that shape the piece, mood, word choice, and rhetoric are only a few. These elements of the work, while minimal in a relative sense, accomplish the same as other, more important components, they influence how the reader perceives the material, how it is understood. If one is to effectively convey the message of the piece, one must first look at how the any reader perceives any text. This idea of how the reader perceives is a culmination of all the devices employed by the author. The idea is for the author to craft an aggregate

Approaching the task of having to communicate with your customers to affectively resolve their problem can be a difficult task, therefore using various negotiation techniques in the process will be very important. Before anyone would contact a customer regarding their problem, you would always need to know what has to be achieved in the long run of the discussion, as you will effectively be working towards what’s best for their service whilst it being beneficial towards both customer and the organisation. Sometimes customers may need something improved on their service which is out of the ordinary, therefore it is my task to comprise and introduce other products or services that we have available to offer in order for their satisfaction and a positive customer experience. Listening carefully is one of the most crucial aspects of negotiation, as you must be able to offer new products and services whilst communicating with customers, which can be proven to be quite the task itself, therefore you would always have to be alert and listen very carefully to their needs in order to offer them the correct product or service for their need.

The way the writer communicates is through their style. It appeals to the audiences emotions, it can make the message more artistic and memorable.

for instance, in the text, when he stated words like ``excruciating pain``, instead of saying, it hurt a lot. or ``March rain drilling his jacket and drilling his body and washing away the blood that poured from his open wound.`` instead of saying, it started to rain harder.Lastly,he hooked the reader in, by creating pictures using all of this. for example, the higher level words add feeling to the text. in the text, for instance, when the author says ``excruciating pain,`` I could almost feel the pain Andy was going through. the author adds picture to that by describing the knife, when it cut Andy.(The knife entered just below his rib cage and had been drawn across his body violently, tearing a wide gap in his flesh.) but then we also know, that none of this wouldn't have happened if Andy had been

Rhetorical modes are methods for effectively communicating through language and writing. Complete the following chart to identify the purpose and structure of the various rhetorical modes used in academic writing. Provide at least 2 tips for writing each type of rhetorical device.

I have learnt that as adults, we already have the skills for reading but using illustrations, sounds and words is a multimodality tool. I tend not to use these different strategies and I think at first, this made my writing in Storybird difficult. I had plenty of ideas but had trouble finding images. I learnt children have far more of a free flowing attitude than adults do, and it took me a while to focus on writing around the images rather than finding an image to match my writing. Children already know much about multimodal texts from their home experiences. As teaching assistant’s it is our responsibility to build on these experiences and the children’s knowledge, recognising the relationships between different modes and use this in our teaching. The future of reading and writing is interwoven with the future of digital technology (UKLA 2005).

Writing as a digitally networked environment enriches the experience of the reader by allowing them to interact with new technological forms. The ability to engage in multimodal writing spaces exceeds traditional alphabetic text by drawing upon the audience’s sensory responses. New multimodal media explores still and moving images, music, colour and sound that entices and interacts with the responder. Snowfall is an example of this as it discusses the affects an avalanche had on the town of Tunnel Creek. Its interactive form produces an interesting layout, which gives the reader a more active and dynamic experience in contrast to traditional and more restrictive written text. By using a

There are different forms of literature which can include essays, poems, novels, reports and more. The one thing all forms of literature have in common is that they all have meaning, purpose and form, but how it is expressed is all different, the question is how. Most of the times authors have a reason to convey such messages, and how the messages are delivered is up to the author as well. The author uses the form, it’s aesthetics to send the readers an image; what kind of literature it is. The authors also send the readers a blatant message, the message is sent through the text of the literature. Through the text on the literature the author portrays purpose, and with the form of the

Genre is known to change discourse by the format the information is presented to the audience (Varela, 2008). It is also a category of composition that is characterized by a particular style, form or content as dictate by Webster Third Dictionary. However Trosborg (n.d) stated that for the past decade, genre identification, classification and description have been scholarly concern. Certain scholars dictate that genre is defined primarily around its basic external criteria such as journals and newspaper discourse while other scholars stand on the opinion that genre can be classify by its communicative purpose, linguistic content and form of role its play in the discourse made (Trosborg, n.d).

Communicating through social media and technology can sometimes be challenging, what are these challenges and how does this affect the nonverbal communication; and do you think this form of communication causes inabilities to interact positively and work effectively with others. While communicating through new technologies and social media can be challenging at times for some, one must also remember that “nonverbal behaviors can be important in establishing trust in working relationships, but modern technologies may challenge our ability to maintain that trust” (Nelson & Quick, 2017, pg. 131). This is because too much of a good thing can cause harmful reactions when trying to communication with another through that of modern
