REFLECTION

  I chose this topic because it affects a lot of people who are part of my community. Minority students specifically. I focused on their struggles and why they have these, how it affects us, and possible solutions. Of course it’s hard to change this but speaking up about it is necessary to make an impact.  Some obstacles I faced while putting this documentary together were having to figure out what software I would use. To be honest I was really stressed at the moment, I just opened iMovie on my tablet because I remembered my cousin and I had made a funny trailer on there. I had already forgotten how to use it but I started playing around with it and finally added my interviews,background sound, and pictures. I tried to add the voice over and this took me a long time to record and edit together so timing would be good and photos would show up at the right time. For interviews to play and sound well without the background music playing too loud and for my voice to blend in with...

Ad

  This ad first shows a very informative introduction (in our projects this can be like introducing the  research we already did on the previous part of our projects). This ad has a lot of imagery/is very visual which is entertaining and actively exposes the audience to what the argument will be/is. The second part of the ad introduces and focuses more on the argument and persuasion of it. I personally really like this form of present  in the argument and persuasion because it’s really visual and engaging. I feel like our project is not totally a documentary because we plan or what other people have done is voice overs of the power points and showing small clips. This relates to what I plan to use as my way to persuade because the targeted audience is directly linked to the issue. My topic affects the audience greatly. my topic.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjJQBjWYDTs “Always - Like a Girl”.

Things to Consider about audience

  Things I need to consider about my audience when constructing my persuasive argument:  Since I’ll be talking about how college cost affects certain groups more than others, I have to consider not leaving out some groups I won’t be focusing on but still will/plan include to talk about.  My audience is college students and we’re all affected by college cost so I feel that they will be understanding but some may disagree with my argument and that’s fine because we all gave different views.  I’ll be respectful of others’ views and back up my argument with my previous research so I’m not making assumptions or misinformation.

  Damaris Paulino  Professor Rolfes   WRD 110    23 September 2021                                  Student Minority Resources    Starting College is a big transition from what students are used to during high school. One of the changes is moving to a new unknown space. Finding yourself in a large new campus such as at the University of Kentucky can be hard. However, when you are part of a minority this adds an extra level of difficulty, because even though you are part of the large student body, your background and experiences are different. This can create a lack of empathy or relativeness which can cause minority students to struggle in finding a sense of belonging and this can impact their performance on academics since they would be under stress, more likely would feel that they do not fit in. It’s important for students to find a community they bel...
