Final Project

I would like to use non verbal communication as a focus for my presentation which would relate essay 3 and 4 and then use essay 5 to show the connection between 3 and 4. I think that a video clip that demonstrates the power of NVC would be interesting and demonstrate why NVC is so important in communication. I think these 3 essays (345) would be most interesting to revise and relate the most to one another.

Brainstorm

For the portfolio, I plan on using project #1 because I really enjoyed writing the narrative and it really made me think about how language is important and the role that it plays for others who struggle with it. I am also planning on using project #3 because it made me realize a lot of different things about how my career speaks and writes. This project was a big eye opener because I never really thought about how it has it's own language until that project. The final project that I plan on using for the portfolio would be my last project #5. I want to use this project because it is basically what this class was about to me, learning how to write as a part of your future career's discourse community which is an important thing to know.

Portfolio

I have 3 papers that look specifically at my career field, and those are gonna be the ones that I choose for my portfolio. I believe that they have been the most consistent in terms of information and they all relate in a way to each other. Also I found them to be the most enjoyable to do, due to the fact that it was on an interest of mine.

For the Portfolio I would like to include:

(1) Essay # 3 because I feel like i really enjoyed my discourse community
(2) Essay # 4 because my wikipedia entry was a build of essay #3, of which I put a great deal of thought into
(3) Essay # 5 because it is the final project and I am enjoying it and the progress i've made so far

Ideas for Final

I am thinking that I want to revise my wiki entry, my paper on my discourse community, and I cant really at this point decide the last one that I want to revise. My first essay was thinking about just becasue I enjoyed that one the most but I'm not sure if it need to be revised. It something that I am going to have to think about.

course portifolo brainstorm

For the three projects that we have to put on a CD as of now i am thinking i will use project #2 the powerpoint with the group, our group worked well together and our powerpoint was well put together. I am also going to use the wikipedia entry, that was one of my best projects. and possibly the last project#5. I might revise project #3 and use that but i am not sure yet, if my #5 goes well i will use that insdead and since i will be going in a different direction that first planned with #5 I think this project will go well.
