Green Living

Lynne, Ashley, and Adam

Lynne - I am making a website that will be covering the environmental impacts, positive health effects, and ethical treatment of animals on factory farms and how you can help by living a vegan lifestyle. I will have lots of links and how to get started with the lifestyle changes. www.wix.com/rawliving/vegan

Peer Review: Megan, Leah, and Shannon

Megan- Her brochure includes her own family tree. Her PowerPoint allows the viewer to stay entertained.

Shannon- Her website is full of information, videos, and photos that all get the attention of the viewer.


Leah- Her website looks very professional and she included all of her sources. She has different tabs for each subject too.

Peer Review: Lynne, Ashley, Adam

Lynne is creating a website over vegan diets and the reasons and benefits related to health, the environment, and the welfare of animals. She is including links and will be explaining each link topic. The website looks very professional and is easy to read. As well, she will be passing out pamphlets to help the audience follow along with what she's showing/talking about.

Ashley is creating an xtranormal animated video that explains the purpose of her assignment. She will then talk a little about her research after showing the video. The video itself is an interesting way to present her topic while also keeping the attention of the audience.

Adam is making a powerpoint presentation to explain benefits and history of hemp in the American society. I think adam will present this topic in a professional way and it was be very informative to the audience.

Peer Review: Hallie, Megan, Stephanie

Hallie is creating a video and power point presentation on fetal syndromes. The video will cover over abnormalities of children.  Megan is doing a video over triathletes and vitamin abuse. The video has pictures and music to act as a silent film.

Stephanie is doing a prezi over creativity and designs and its influences. She will do this by showing pictures of architecture.

Peer Review: Cassie, Tori, Shelby, Clayton

Cassie is doing an xtranormal story, which does not have a specific title yet but will most likely be entitled Doctor Story. Her story will casually include statistics of hospitals and talk about a man who acquired an infection while he stayed at the hospital from diabetes complications.He is talking with one of his friends he ran into at the office. Her project is over halfway done.

Tori is also doing an xtranormal story which is already finished and entitled Redesigning Our World. Her focus is on a woman who wants to design her potential baby boy's genes, thus giving him desirable traits. She discusses her decision with a doctor.

Shelby is doing an xtranormal activity as well, which will focus on relocation. Although she is not here and we do not know her title or specific purpose, we do know that she is almost finished.

Clayton is presenting a powerpoint presentation called Saving A Generation From PTSD. He will be focusing on the ways to prevent PSTD and giving much information on the subject, including how and why it is formed. He is still in the process of working.

Peer Review: Victoria, Kory, David, Mariah

Victoria, Kory, David, and Mariah are all using functional and rhetorical literacy by each using a different mix of technology, fair use materials, and the information they gained from their research this semester to create their final projects.

Kory and Mariah are making websites with information pertinent to their topics. Victoria is making an online newsletter using Issue for the same purpose, and David is making a powerpoint about his topic.

None of us have much more than the general form of our projects created (example: Kory and Mariah both started their websites, but neither has any content up yet.), but we all have an idea of what we're doing and a plan for it.

First Peer Review on Multimodal Project

Today during class, your peer review group will meet to determine where everyone is so far on their project and to commit to a title for your panel presentation. Each group should respond to this post with the title of its panel, along with one sentence for each individual student's presentation that describes its focus and its format.

Multimodal Project: What is your tentative plan?

In 250 words, write what you are thinking about doing for your multimodal project. You might want to mention your topic, what aspect of your previous research you will focus on, what the purpose of your message will be, who you see as your audience, the types of platforms that you are considering using and why, and what ideas you have for creating in that platform. This is just a starting point for discussion and planning. If you have questions or concerns--and probably everyone does at this stage--include them in your post.
