The spacial mode is relating to space and if you click the link below there will be an image of the spatial mode of the journey to work involving car. each color code goes with something on the map and according to that we can understand it and make comparisons. https://chartingtransport.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/car.png

This relates to one of the readings we did earlier this semester the description of the basket is so specific that a reader can vision they can interact with the text. "The Mohegan manu'da, or basket, pictured here is in the collection of the Connecticut Historical Society, It is 12 inches wide, 17 inches long, and 11 inches high. It is rectangular in shape, with sides that curve slightly inward. The rim is double reinforced and single wrapped, creating a sturdy durable frame. The cover is slightly concave, perhaps from age, with sharply defined comers. The warp and weft of the splits are of medium width. The basket is decorated on three sides in Mohegan pink and green, and it is fully lined with pages .from an 1817 Hartford, Connecticut, newspaper. " In this text there are a lot of word choices which means the author used the linguistic mode. The author also used the visual mode by putting a picture a the basket. http://spring2018.robinwharton.net/engl1102/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/1103U1G2.pdf

"Affordance refers to the potentialities and constraints of different modes – what it is possible to express and represent or communicate easily with the resources of a mode, and what is less straightforward or even impossible – and this is subject to constant social work. From this perspective, the term ‘affordance’ is not a matter of perception, but rather refers to the materially, culturally, socially and historically developed ways in which meaning is made with particular semiotic resources.The affordance of a mode is shaped by its materiality, by what it has been repeatedly used to mean and do (its ‘provenance’), and by the social norms and conventions that inform its use in context – and this may shift, as well as through timescales and spatial trajectories." https://multimodalityglossary.wordpress.com/affordance/

When most readers are reading, they like to be able to picture and feel like they are actually in the reading. A reader should be able to picture and even draw an author or anyone's work. Just like we did in class we had to do a primary description, on our peer review day our partner had to read our description and try to draw it .

When reading the word gestural you think of gesture and gestural mode refers to movement. My supplement reading is "Deaf community outraged after interpreter signed gibberish before Irma" In the supplement reading there is a good example of gestural mode. The man interpreter signing is using hand gesture and facial expressions in the video even tough all these gestures were "gibberish"..https://nypost.com/2017/09/16/deaf-community-outraged-after-interpreter-signed-gibberish-before-irma/

A good example of linguistic mode could be the Martin Luther king speech " I Have a Dream" he was making his audience understand him where he is coming from he was explaining his dream t o his speaker. He also used word choices like " negro", "smaller guetto". http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/1951-/martin-luther-kings-i-have-a-dream-speech-august-28-1963.php**

When I hear the word Multi- Modal without even continuing the reading I would think of Multiple modes because when you hear the word multi you think of many or multiple. Modal you think of modes you think of way. could be "Many ways " or " different ways ". And mode is a way of communicating, people can communicate in many ways it could be through pictures, text, etc...

Visual mode has to do with vision, what you see. This also relates to the video because the deaf community was watching the news even tough they cant hear anything they were watching it what the interpreter was signing and realize that it was all wrong. Most could already tell there was something wrong because of the nervous look on his face and how he kept on looking at the speaker. This picture below is also an example of visual mode because it has visual information that will attract someone's attention . Walking by these mannequin with those fancy, colorful outfits on will definitely catch your attention. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/489555421982453374/

Prownian Analysis is a means of identifying, and examining objects through detailed physical description, guessing at uses of the object, and treating the object as a fiction as a way of relating the object to more broad concepts. By applying Prownian Analysis to the examination of an object, the examiner should end with a rich description of the object, as well as a vivid idea of why the object was produced, and for whom. source (https://gregcotter.wordpress.com/prownian-analysis-2/)

The supplement reading I chose is The secret to a good writing its about objects not ideas. This reading talks about how students don't know how to write and when the professor actually tries to help he tell them to be specific in their writings to write physically with physical objects which is something Kenneth Haltman talk about in his reading "The key to good description is a rich, nuanced vocabulary. Technically accurate language (nominative, for the most part) plays an important role in this, but ultimately not the most important role which is reserved, per-haps somewhat counter-inruitively, to descriptive modifiers (adjectives) and, most crucially, to terms expressive of the dynamics of interrelation (verbs, adverbs, prepositions)". But then Bernadette another teacher disagree with him and told him that only ideas matter when writing, "Getting them to define and handle ideas is what's important, not things." In the 10th paragraph, at first I disagreed with the author when he stated that "... all abstract ideas derive from objects." because when defining an abstract idea it is a concept that needs to be vizualized, they cant be illustrated through concrete examples, it refers to the ideas which are not concerned with worldly things. For example education, knowledge, happiness, cowardice, freedom, self expression, peace of mind. They are the things that you cannot touch but you can feel them.Looking at this picture right there in this link (https://www.viewbug.com/contests/abstract-ideas-photo-contest/4607259) How would you describe this abstract picture? it is something someone drew from their mind and i am pretty sure only the person who drew this can tell the meaning and give you an idea of what this is. But then when I kept reading the way he say that we could describe and use those abstract ideas by using objects related to it.

Concrete noun can be identified through one of the five senses (taste, touch, sight, hearing, or smell). so that's why he answered the student that way when they ask him what a concrete noun was in the supplement text " The secret to good writing: its about objects not ideas." source (https://www.grammarly.com/blog/concrete-vs-abstract-nouns/)

Adding evidence to ones writing is one of the best way to support you claims and it is something that most student fail to do when writing a paper. source (https://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/get-assistance/writing/writing-disciplines/using-evidence-effectively)

Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is an approach to psychological qualitative research with an idiographic focus, which means that it aims to offer insights into how a given person, in a given context, makes sense of a given phenomenon. source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretative_phenomenological_analysis)

Anyone can try to describe an object, thing or person but if you don't be specific no one will understand or will know what you are talking about. For example, if you were to describe a cat you can't just say that it has 4 legs, it has fur, two eyes you will need to add more descriptions to this because there are plenty of animals with fur, four legs and two eyes. when you give a good description the person can visualize it better. Just like he stated on " The key to a good description is a rich, nuance vocabulary."

to impregnate or inspire, as with feelings, opinions, source (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/imbue?s=t)

I totally agree with the author in that part but it is also the key to becoming a good writer. Without vocabulary one would not be able to write, they would not find the word to describe an object for one to understand.
