This article provides a research-driven pedagogical perspective on world-building, drawing upon the author’s experiences teaching Beowulf in a multimodal composition course at the Georgia Institute of Technology. World-building and multimodal pedagogy may combine smoothly in first-year college composition courses to simultaneously introduce students to medieval literature and communications concepts. For many students, such courses are their only required exposure to either field; by using world-building techniques, instructors may create an inclusive and student-centered course, one that does not force a choice between literary study and learning practices of compositional rhetoric.
