Elevator Pitch

For your final project you will be composing one multimodal text to be featured on the new website for AWE. The first step in this process is to pitch your idea to our editorial team (your classmates). To accomplish this you must present:

  • A 350 word abstract in MLA format. Post this to the blog under tag “pitch.” Find examples here: http://www.umt.edu/ugresearch/umcur/sample_abstracts.php
  • A description of your intended audience and an explanation of how you will reach them.
  • A clear purpose and an explanation of why this information should appear on the AWE website.
  • Citations or evidence of research.
  • Your plan to incorporate media.

You will have 5 minutes to present, and I will time you. Think of this like a Shark Tank pitch. You want the presentation to be convincing, dynamic, and well researched. Be prepared to answer questions from the audience.

We will work on these in class on 3/9 and you will present them on 3/21.
