Homework 12/5 Unit 1 relection paragraph

Gabriella Leon

In reflection of Unit 1, something I feel like I could do better was to possibly just put in more
effort to proofread more. Something that I realized about myself is that I have a habit of jumping between procrastinating and procrastinating. That within itself is a problem because it causes chaos of an inconsistent pattern within the quality of my work. When I precrastinate I do better but I have ADHD so if I’m focusing on this one thing it makes me fall behind in other tasks. When I procrastinate I rush to finish and turn in the work so it isn’t up to its best potential. I also rush to hand it in so I won’t go into detail and review my work so I end up getting points knocked off for little things that I could have fixed and I feel like it makes me illiterate when in reality I was just trying to beat a deadline. All in all, I could try to put more effort into focusing and prioritizing important deadlines and giving in my best quality work so I can get the best possible grade.

Homework 11/7

-I would like to make a documentary / short film for a Youtube channel.

-As One of the leading record publishers in the world, The Washington Post has a 145-year heritage of uncompromising journalism, mostly in the political arena.

-I believe most of their audience would be people who deem themselves as either Democrats or Republicans. It could also be the open public wanting to see others’ views, considering politics must be at least top 3 of controversial subjects. It is a ridiculously hot button issue.

-Op-eds are limited to at most 800 words, they must include the writer’s full name — anonymous op-eds or op-eds written under pseudonyms will not be considered.

-Tone is subject to the topic, if not always it is majority serious since what is being spoken about is serious.

-It is a mix of education, formal, and casual. It is like the author is having a casual conversation with you in a formal manner while educating you with facts and exposing you to informative measures

-They provide a mix of all. Interviews, images, datasets, etc.

-They are modern and appealing to the public eye in a way. Colors, not just black and white. Also, most of the articles provide a variety of pictures or graphics.

-Yes, because the Washington post is one of the biggest publication platforms. It is not specifically aimed towards one audience it is open internationally.

Homework 11/2/23

For Unit 3 I would like to teach my audience the importance of Abortion. I would specifically like to target this lesson to those who are anti-abortion in hopes us expanding their knowledge and maybe even changing their opinion. Abortion has been a very hot button for centuries. Strong opinions flew left and right but On June 24, 2022, Roe V Wade was overturned. A right that so many women fought for. In Roe v Wade, Wade argued that a Woman’s right to privacy was not as important as the unborn child’s right to life. One can infer that Wade’s point pushes that an already grown living life’s right is not as important as one of a life that has not even begun yet and that says a lot. People are willing to disregard a woman’s life and rights for an unborn life which just shows how much women are disregarded, disrespected, and bluntly not cared for Roe argued her case with 5 different already-made amendments. She used the Bill of Rights that this country made to defend herself while Wade was using an opinion. An unborn life does not have living rights yet. It is that simple. I think the best Genre to write in to get my point across would be nonfiction because abortion is already a sensitive enough topic and I think it would be best to just state the facts get straight to the point and be as respectful as possible. to lighten it up I can even write poetry about it. Go on social media and bring awareness to it. Make a club for women who need support or for people who just want to open-mindedly understand. There are so many outlets to help people learn and understand. `The only thing I’m worried about is women or people who won’t feel comfortable speaking up, i want it to be a safe place for everybody to speak freely.
