Chapter 19 Summary

This chapter discusses how to design your document and presentation. This chapter has six sections where it breaks down how to design specific pieces of work. These sections consist of, designing academic essays, multimodal essays, articles, web sites, oral presentations and multimedia presentations. It is important to keep in mind how to design your document because it adds a special element to your paper. When you begin to design your document you should keep in mind what your purpose is. For example, are you informing your audience or are you trying to convince them of something. This is important because you would design your paper in a different way for both of those. Another thing to keep in mind is what are the expectations of your design. For example,  you may want to talk to your instructor to see what is required of you. Another thing you should do is look at examples. This will help you find things you want to incorporate in your paper or maybe things that you do not want to do. It will also help provide you with a model you can follow. This is an important aspect to your essay because it makes your essay visually appealing.
