Reflection Blog

The multimodal webtext ,ade me feel the most pressured out of all the assignments weve had. It frustrated me, made me angry, and rushed me. i know i didnt do the great job that i wanted to achieve on the project. I choise my audience based on the other three assignments which was everyone or anyone that cares, loves, and wants to help the wolr dbe a better place to reside in. My purpose was to show an outsider how the Peace Corps works, what missions and goals they set to achieve for themselves, and if you joined this lustrous organization what you will receive from them. I always wanted people to view this organization as a savior. I wanted to inspire people to either want to join this organization or possibly even donate time, effort, or monetary installments into their community or another organization of their personal choice. My design was to basiscally show how loving and caring this organization is. i tried to choose the best pictures to portray that feeling. The videos were chosen to try and persuade or even just to intrigue the reader to want to join or contemplate about helping somebody or something in some sort of way. I believe that this would be well presented to a webreader. Maybe not the slideshow but the webtext in itself i think would be good. It gives illicit information on the topic and is very helpful and persuasive to the reader...hopefully. Im proud of my webtext. i believe that im a really good writer and my webtext expresses that. I was surprised that my webtext even appleaed to my liking because im my harshest critic and im very critical of everything that i compose or write. The part that im disappointed in was the slideshow podcast. i know it wasnt good at all and if i had more time then i definetly would revise my slideshow podcast. I tried to but unfortunately, which isnt a valid excuse, my headset would not work and the last chance that i thought i would have didnt happen. I was so angry and flustered that i didnt get the chance because of my stupididity to change my slideshow podcast. My supplementary sources are very well chosen. There relevant because they show actual Peace Corps volunteers experiences in their country that they were stationed in while on their expeditiond. The purpose of those were to show other people who are interested how others enjoy their job. It was also to show the emotions and efforts of what they exactly do on their expeditions.

mm webtext

just putting in as much effort as possible trying to figure out how to make everything flow, sound good, look good, and feel good. im running in to a few personal problems with the project but it should be easily sorted out with a few contemplations and relaxation moments.....if that makes any sense....if not.....oh well..try to understand my language.

Podcast reflection

I did my podcast on what the peace Corps does in the country of Africa. I chose this topic because i really care about Africa and I chose this organization because this is the organization i want to join. I chose the audience that i did because i think that everyone should know what other people around the world are doing to help others. I think they should also know the problems and diversities that other people have to live through in their daily lives. I really didnt have any specific organization for this project. I know your really suppose to but i just went with the flow and just made sure everything went together smoothly and made sense. In a way, i guess that sort of is organizing in general, but not detailed organization. I believe this is well-suited for the web reader because it reaches to the listener's emotions. It allows the listener to think about others and what there are doing to aid the people around the world. This also might help the reader want to help in someone too.

Podcast-revision of proposal

I've decided that i will thoroughly narrow down my podcast from three organizations to one. Instead of doing the Peace Corps, ICC, and U.N. and there effects on the crisis in Darfur; I've now decided to limit myself to the organization i plan to join in the future: the Peace Corps. I will discuss their involvement and what they do, and how they help in Darfur. I will try to provide opinions of the members and some experiences they have as well as my emotional and mental input on the situation in Darfur. For the final project i have decided to explain the Peace Corps in generalized terms, in other words, I will discuss what the Peace Corps does for the entire world and not just one centralized location. I hope my podcast is effective and entices people to want to take action in some way. In some instances I'm known for adequate public social skills when I'm discussing something that i love, cherish, care, and strive for in life. At times I am nervous because I dont like when people dont care about what im speaking about. I actually gave a speech in Comm 114 on Africa and someone (not specifying) showed no interest and basically was staring out the window and rolling their eyes everytime i elaborated on the information. It distracted me, made me feel like there was no purpose for my topic, and above all angered, bewildered, and frustrated me because it showed me the lack of curtosy for others well beings. I was offended that this person was inconsiderate to the people of Africa and the trauma and devastation they live with everyday. i could have care less about my feelings but when it comes to Africa and displaying an attitude of that nature toward my speech about it, i got really heated. So i hope my project will reach the audience and grasps their hearts, minds, and souls as well as show them what others are doing to help the horriffic crisis in Darfur.

Podcast

I'm going to discuss the top three organizations that have the most monumental impact on the situation Darfur. I'm not to sure if i should narrow it down from three organizations to two, or possibly one. That would be a a lot of information to gather for three so i'm proposing that i should narrow it down to two since I my closing assingments topic will focus on one. I believe in my topic and i care and love my topic. I want most of my life to be devouted to helping this country and hopefully many others an any way possible. My podcast will show my emotion, determination, and effort into this subject. These organizations have volunteered there life, time, love, gratification, hearts, souls, minds, and bodies into helping others either achieve, live, and find better oppurtunities in their lives. I want to dedicate my time to the Peace Corps because Africa has allowed me to see the good in everyone and that everyone deserves a chance to live a frutfull and happy life.

Reflection

I chose the genocide in Darfur because i love and care about Africa very much. I believe this is a serious problem that effects everyone because there people too and everyone deserves a good life. Everyone deserves to be happy and have a chance at living there life to the fullest potential. I plan on going to Africa after college to provide my assistance any way that is possible. I love Africa and i love seeing people happy so i want to try and make a difference in their lives.

Proposal

Im matthew wojas and i did my proposal on the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Reason: I care about this country very much and i plan on hopefully joining the peace corp. so i can go on a two year teaching expedition after college in Africa.

yeah ive decided now to do my research completely on the genocide that recides in the village of Darfur. i hope that narrows it down quite a bit. i refuse to choose another topic but honestly......actually im also trying to refute a possible inquiry with either writing my propsal on Tibet or Africa because those are the two countries that i truly care about and plan to help in the future, other than our own country. yeah so..........awesome! CANT WAIT FOR THE OFFICE SEASON FIVE TO START!

My topic is going to be some type of informative webtext on Africa. Most likely information on organizations, problems within the country, things of that nature. this is something i deeply care about i should say love and this is a country that i want to be able to provide assistance to in the future by joining an organization so i usually like to compose articles, papers, and assignments about Africa as much as possible to be able to reach out to others to want to either aide this or other third world countries. As for the webzines and what not we did in class I'm interested in science and technology somewhat but not a very social person so its difficult for me sometimes to speak my mind because i feel that "15 minutes of fame" syndrome where all eyes/attention is on you and if you make one drastic error you feel cornered. Dont usually care what people think but i dont like sounding like i don't know what I'm not discussing when i actually do.
