"Where is the Love: UT Edition" Sofia's reflection on the project: "One of the reasons why I enjoyed this course was because of my personal care for the topics I chose to write about. It has always been important for me to feel engaged in my work, and I felt like this class allowed me to challenge my writing in newer and unexplored ways...A specific moment was when I couldn’t decide what paper to use to create my video presentation. I knew that using the SnapChat paper would probably be the easy way out, so I did what I had been doing all semester and chose to use the most challenging paper of them all: the one with Foucault. Although I omitted Foucault form the video presentation, explaining and forwarding his concepts was especially challenging when your only evidence was modern hip hop music. To eventually get my message across, I decided to create my own evidence that forwarded not only Foucault’s message, but also the one by the Black-Eyed Peas."
"Me and My Selfie"
"Sarah Connor Becomes a Masculine Hero" Katelyn's reflection on the project: "Personally, I believe that focusing more on the specific rhetoric a story, movie, or article, uses to persuade an audience has been helpful to understand and examine my own argumentation style and how to adapt it to my different audiences...Most of all, I think this final project really helped solidify the goal of the course “Revise compositions, incorporating peer and instructor feedback,” (Syllabus) since I knew I first had missed that key piece that would really strengthen my argument after the original feedback and in the end it became a project I was proud of. Another component of the final project that became a learning experience for me was understanding how to utilize the tools available to me. The library resources provided by the in-class presentation as well as the quick how-to on using Audacity and the movie maker program were vastly helpful for me, having never done a project like this before. It helped me achieve another goal from the syllabus: “Utilizing library resources, research the literary, historical, social, and political contexts of ‘dystopia’” (Syllabus) in a way that I hadn’t originally anticipated."
"A Chance in the Western World"
