10. Setting goals to support the development of functional literacies • Examples: • Learn to use iMovie to layer still images and audio. • Learn to use Windows MovieMaker to create a video that uses still and moving images that are labeled for reuse and modification under Creative Commons. • Learn to use iMovie to insert transitions between clips.

11. Setting goals to support the development of rhetorical literacies • Convey the message of to (the audience) through the use of multiple modes of expression and combined appeals to logos, pathos, and ethos. • Use lyrics, melody, and tempo in particular songs as musical rhetoric to draw upon the cultural associations of an audience member. • Use juxtaposition of images and song lyrics to advance the purpose of the video.
