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.

pod cast

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.

Audience

I believe the audience for my web text will be most everyone in today's world who cares about what is going on in the economy because it is affecting everyone. Also, people who would like to learn about the past and who would like to know more about the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. There will be many people who make up my audience possibly to many to count just because this topic reflects what is going on in today's world.

I believe that my audience will understand English mostly because this focuses on the United States and what is going on here but also I guess if people in Europe wanted to read it they would understand it to.

I believe that this topic is a well known topic and I believe that everyone knows at least a little about what happened in the 1930's with the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Also, I believe that many people know about what is happening in today's economy.

The audience's reason for reading this web text would be to broaden their learning about what happened in the past and what is now going on in the world today. This so called depression is not just effecting the United States it is effecting everyone in the world.

I believe the expectations for my work will be well put together with a lot of facts but not to make it boring. make it exciting and have color and pictures showing people what the people of the 1930's looked like and what things looked like during the depression

After people read my work I want them to feel like they learned something and can take something away from this web text that they will keep with them forever and share to people around them.

My purpose to write about this is to inform people about what is going on in today's economy and what happened durring the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl so that hopfully people can learn and try not to make the same mistakes again.

The voice I should use would probably be past tence and first person like about my ideas and such. Also, I will give ideas from other people from articles and newspapers.

2 sites to talk about

I have decided that for right now I will choose to write about the great depression compared to what is going on in today’s economy. It kind of takes 2 of my topics and combines them into one. It is not that hard to find information about the great depression but I think I might have a little bit of a hard time finding facts about today.
http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/depression/depression.htm
I think this site would work because it has a lot of hard facts about what happened during the depression and how it started. Basically it talks about everything you wanted to know about during the depression up to Pearl Harbor. Also it is a good site to get some pictures off of with the sources from the pictures to.
http://www.42explore2.com/depresn.htm
I think that this would be a good site also because it has some information and then it has links to various other sites that have even more information. It has information that is not in the first site and also like activities that you could do to learn more about what the people in the 1930’s had to go thru.
http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2008-11-03-economy-depression-recession_N.htm
This is an article about today’s economy relating it to the great depression. I think this site would work because it is a reliable newspaper and they normally have all the facts and they also interview people about the topic they are talking about.

Three things I would like to learn more about.

Three things I would like to learn more about this semester would be today’s economy, the Great Depression, and World War II. I find history very informative and I believe that the U.S. needs to learn from their mistakes.
I don't know much about any of these topics really I just find them interesting and I would like to learn about them. I would like to know how today economy is will be with the new president, and how the people in the 1930's to 1940's got by. Also, I am interested to know more about Adolf Hitler and what he did to the Jews and the other people who had their life’s ended for no apparent reason.

Some questions I would have about each topic would be:

• What is exactly happening in today’s economy and how can people help it from getting any worse?
• How did people manage during the Great Depression?
• What was the reason behind taking innocent people from their homes and treating them the way they did?
