When I was completing my rhetorical analysis - the picture helped me by giving me questions to consider and also organized those questions which made it much simpler to navigate my thought process and how I wanted to approach writing my responses.

Also reminds me of my study notes which I tend to make infographics or mind maps to help me comprehend and memorize the information better.

When reading over the material for this activity I found it was much easier to listen and understand the instructions in the video in comparison to just reading the steps

Pictures help to organize thoughts and the goal of the assignment

The video is easier to get through in comparison to reading all the information she speaks about here.

The video also helps with communication - although we are in an entirely online class I still feel comfortable communicating with the teacher because she has used multimodal writing - the video - to communicate and appears approachable, outgoing, and kind. If this were entirely written I may not feel as comfortable reaching out for help because the introduction would be much more impersonal

Notice the pictures used - ex. syllabus acts as a map for the course. Easier comprehension of terms through representative images
