whatI would like to discuss

One of the main things I would like to discuss in my conference would be how effective I am at getting my point across to my readers. Also, I would like to talk about the tone of my voice while recording to make sure that it is not to upbeat so that the reader thinks I enjoyed this topic like is was something funny when in all reality it is very serious.

Slide show pod cast

For my podcast slide show I plan on doing it on the Dust bowl
that is important because it happened around the same time as the great depression and people in the those states had to go threw so much more than just the depression.

review feedback

I plan to revise my podcast be adding an opening and closing and finishing my podcast. I will add better information and make a good strong conclusion that wraps up my whole topic.

differences between written and spoken text

The differences I found between written and spoken text were big. I don't really like spoken because you don't have anything to read and I get distracted especially when I am on a computer and I seem not to focus as much as I should. when reading I can actually see what the person is trying to explain and I can look back and re-read everything. With spoken text it is easier to deal with because you can be lazy and you don't have to read but I feel like I don't learn as much as I would with written text.

For my pod cast I would like to talk about the "second New Deal" that was proposed by FDR after he was elected into office and after the first 100 days.

Post- peer review post

After reading what Matt had to say about my paper I felt good. I knew that even so early in the stages of my web text he could understand what my point was and was able to understand everything I was trying to say. I learned that I should put more information about today's economy in the web text and possibly find some more sources. Also, I need to add pictures and charts if I want to make my web text effective and want to have people actually want to read it.

Post-conference post

After talking about my paper so far I realized a lot of things I should change on my paper. We talked about my opening and how it was not as strong as it should be so I worked on changing that. Another thing we talked about was grammatical errors and I know I make a lot of those so I will have to go through and fix all of those. Over all I feel like it was a good conference and I feel like I found out a lot of things I should continue working on to make my web text good.
