New Media

My first year of college, I went to community college.  My English class was two sections, one section was in the classroom and the other was in the computer lab.  In the classroom we would talk about forms of writing and we were shown examples, in the computer lab, we wrote about what we had learned.  One class we were supposed to write about a serious topic that directly effected us.  This was an argument that meant a lot to me and so I had a lot to say.  I argued that, there are many different races, nationalities, and colors of people around the world.  Myself, being bi-racial, I feel strongly about this certain topic.  For me to "remediate" it this into a different media, I could do a picture theory.  It would be interesting to see the process of how racism is being a more less practice.  I would use a combination of both words and pictures to explain what is going on.  It was interesting to see what the book had said about picture theory and all the different types of rhetors, our society as a whole is transforming and to see this in our texts is really interesting.
