Applied Learning Project: Intention Essay
The Bellamy Mansion and Museum has a clear idea of what it wants to bring to
the Wilmington community: education through experience. I think that the most
important goal I would like to achieve with this project is to entice members of the
community, including schools and their students, to take the time to visit the mansion to
gain knowledge of the history of an important landmark and a part of Wilmington history.
I feel that this aligns with what the Bellamy Mansion is already trying to achieve through
their education through experience goal. One way to do this would be to update their
website so it is more visually appealing and user friendly. Creating a video of the updated
renovations of the mansion would also help attract old and new visitors. Highlighting
certain rooms and exhibits within the video, without showing all of the rooms, would also
help to give a taste of what the Bellamy Mansion has to offer and in doing so, draw
people to want to learn more about the Mansion.
In looking at obstacles or challenges that might be faced while fulfilling these
goals, it is important to look at the technical aspect of multimodal writing. Anyone can
write a good essay, summary, or explanation of what the Bellamy Mansion has to offer. I
am most concerned with the delivery of such writing in a way that makes people want to
visit the Mansion for the learning experiences offered. I am not the most technically

savvy when it comes to video editing or website design, so making sure technical aspect
of the project does not deter from the information being presented is of key importance.
I think having a personal connection to the Bellamy Mansion is important in
completing this project. It was very important to visit the Mansion and be able to feel,
smell, and experience all that it has to offer, as we are the ones going to be writing and
making a video about it. There are some experiences that cannot be transferred through a
linguistic mode, so we are tasked with using different modes, such as the aural, visual,
and spatial, to explain these experiences to viewers.
The skills gained in this project will help in future endeavors; the world of
technology is changing by the minute, and this project will help to cultivate skills in
multimodal composition. I might be tasked with creating a similar project, such as
creating a video in another. With the skills learned in using different modes, I will be able
to combine them to create an informative and appealing project.
