ABSTRACT MULTIMEDIA COMPOSITION: ENGLISH ELECTIVE FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADES 9-12. Name: Gaydosh-Bruce, Anne University of Dayton This research is primarily focused on curriculum design and implementation of a new English Language Arts elective course offering. Each Eaton High School student is required to fulfill a half credit for ELA electives in addition to four years in English Literature courses. In my research, I define what multimodal composition is as well as what sonic composition means. I connect the two modes of composition to compare how each influences the curriculum for this new course. The current elective course offerings are limited to a traditional, linear composition course that requires students to use written texts as the required objective. The course objectives for this multimodal course include: identify storytelling beyond the literary canon through sound or film, inspire non-readers and non-writers to appreciate new forms of storytelling, and analyze and produce using a variety of multimodalities. Students use modes relatable to their everyday habits of life. Finally, this course is created with appropriate content for grades 9-12. As well, this course is versatile and adaptable to many teaching styles so it can be implemented by any teacher in the department.
