Project Proposal – Zubair Abdullah
Research Question: How does social media affect teens mental health and their brain?
- I want to teach my audience what outcomes can come out of social media. I want to show them how it can really have negative and positive outcomes from social media.
- My audience would be parents who don’t know how to set boundaries with their kids on social media or get them to use social media in a way these negative things don’t necessarily happen.
- The genre that I am considering is podcast. I have never really done a podcast before, and I think it would be a great experience for me.
- My plan would be to get a bunch of my friends and maybe family to record themselves talking and I can put it together and give them a script to follow and they can also add in things from their points of view as well on social media and how it affects them. My concern would be maybe not having enough people to record themselves.
- I will be using An Open Letter to Governor Lee on the Slaughter of Our Children – New York Times as my mentor text
Mentor text: Opinion | An Open Letter to Governor Lee on the Slaughter of Our Children – The New York Times
Zubair: You misunderstood!
Because you are doing a podcast, you must choose a mentor text from the list of Podcast Mentor Texts! You cannot use an open letter as mentor text — you choose a podcast!
