Entry B

a)  My presentation will be passionate, but light-hearted. It will have slight humor, but still be relatively serious.

b)  I'm using tan/beige paper colors to give the school feel as well as colors like teal and a light red and dark yellows, bright but not too fun and childish. As well as type-writer and handwritten type font to match the school/class theme.May or may not use a graph in my presentation.

c)  My site and poster are persuasive through proving valid points and using inviting/appealing colors to draw people in and make them interested.

d)  I will come back to this one, "post support materials."

e)  I make it very clear with my text and information provided how I feel and what my view is.

f)  I'm sort of creating a variety of things,
the colors used will be pretty bright to attract younger generations on my website and my poster as well as writing an essay discussing the seriousness of my issue.

Entry A

a)  The goals of my project include gaining student interest in current events, educating students on current events, providing credible sources and unbiased instructors to inform the students and lead the courses efficiently and accurately.

b)  It is important because the voter turn out among younger generations is gradually decreasing showing us that the newer generations are less informed and interested in politics and current events. This is a problem because these are our nations future leaders and it is crucial for them to be interested and educated.

c)  These goals correspond with my future career goals, because as a journalist is will be my job to provide credible, truthful, and objective information to the masses.

d)  My project gives back to society by teaching students valuable information for free, as well as getting them more involved in their communities and country as a whole.

e)  My project is related to the environmental dimensions by including service learning in the curriculum, it is related to the social dimension by working towards teaching social sciences, and is related to the economic dimension by making the class free and accessable to anybody who is interested.

What I do for inspiration;

Usually, when I'm in need of some inspiration and motivation I watch things like Ted Talks or Interviews with people I look up to. I also watch documentary's on things that interest me to give me some inspiration. Sometimes I'll read articles of inspiring stories or listen to music that will hype me up. And sometimes I just sit and meditate on my thoughts until I reach a conclusion. It just depends on my mood and what happened to cause my lack of motivation.
