• The platform that I would like to publish in would be TEDx Talk (https://www.youtube.com/@TEDx)
• TEDx Talk show, individuals get opportunity to speak about life and experiences, share idea, innovations, and just the whole point of spreading important information and knowledge to people which also informs, aware and educate them.
• I think videos gravitates, grown teenagers, adults, parents, entrepreneur, thinkers and also positive related people. Thier videos are related to all of those stuff listed just now.
• Thier videos are usually between 7-20mins long.
• They have a friendly, welcoming, informative tone.
• It is mostly and informative formal diction used.
• Think they usually use experiences or what they have developed, or research based on their own knowledge too.
• Thier Presentation is mainly about standing up giving a speech, speaking and engaging with their audience in a theater type thing. So usually, they speak on a microphone and also presentation on screens to also present visually to the audience when needed.
• I think it would be a fitting publication for my audience based on my unit 2 topic, because you actually get to speak with an audience also, it is possible as well that it will not only reach physical audience it also will be able to reach a virtual audience widely across the world with the aid of technology being used.

I want to speak on the topic of child abuse to my audience. Child abuse is an ongoing situation that seem to be very hard to prevent/stop. I want my proposal to reach out to an audience specifically parents. Parents are aware of these things and some parents are still unaware or they are, but they don’t know how serious of an issue it is causing to their children’s lives. The genre I am planning to use is a PODCAST. I think a PODCAST is suitable for this genre because, usually many people or pass victims used PODCAST to tell/ share their stories. PODCAST is also a genre adults can gravitate towards to watch/listen instead of reading or anything else in situations like these. My plan approach to unit 3, is to go ahead and plan how I would want my message to be delivered and engaging to my audience who will be watching or listening, so that it maybe gravitating and helpful.

One concern I have is my genre is the best genre for my audience, and how would I go about presenting my message. I also would like to know the buildup of this project and is very curious how this will come out in the end.

This is how I feel about the project so far:

So far doing this research has been good. I have grasped some knowledge and it has allowed me to even listen to some people’s stories through audio and videos to also assist me using it as a source in my research. I think the only problem I am having so far is with the bibliography it’s the rhetorical analysis thing in which I felt like I’m missing a piece, or I haven’t completed it correctly I’m not quite sure so I may need help with that, but other than that I am good I believe. I am proud to say that I found the research on my topic more interesting than I would have thought, getting to listen to other stories and stories that I also did not use in my research. They answered a lot of questions and gave me knowledge of things I was a bit curious about.
