Connection Piece
On my document I use some strategies that could be attractive for some athletes, for example something that I can use are some pictures of athletes training with us and also some fraises that can be inspirational for athletes for example “do you want to reach your dreams, come and we teach you the strategies to be on the next level of the game”, I think this is one of the best way to have the attention of the audience because so many young athletes dream about playing on their favorite college team or on their favorite professional team, something that can be very helpful on my document is to have statements from professional athletes explaining the proses of coming a recognizes athlete through our training and strategies, for example explaining that this is an easy process that any person can done and see notable results at the end, and this is good because the audience want to heard that it is easy and that they can have big improvements on shorts amount of time. I also want to show some pictures, on my document, of some professionals and important athletes that are on the program to help the athletes with their abilities and with their strategies; this is something that would be very helpful because the young athletes want to meet important figures and also want to be teach by them, so this would encourage athletes to come and learn something that could help them.

well in my document(poster) im creating simply works by relating/experience and giving meaing to someting you see and choose. in the poster im asking "choose your keys?" and under i will have 6 types of keys with difrent keychains each one is difrent one will have a hellow kitty, a little balerina shoe, iffel tower(souvenier),a cross, lipstick,basketball/football, piston, guitar, school,and one represnting a familly/chilldren. each person in their mind will chose one the one that most relates and has the most meaning for them. by doing this it proves that intrest and prior knoledge/experience affects the meaing of tings to us. this will show what type of persons are they it will relfect how they are and what values they have and will show what values are stronger for them. i made it the way i made it becuse each will choose one and they will have to thing and proses and use their values,experineces and relate to one of the pics of a keychain wich they gave it teir own meaing for a pesonal/particular reason so they could relate,have intrest, and give meaning to something.
document analysis
well my public document wich is going to be a poster will be directed for drivers. in my poster im going to ask something and make them choose a picture by choosing a certain picture that means that they relate to it in a certain way. this will prove how intrest and meaning go hand in hand each person will be intrested in one or several pictures wich means they gave meaing theirfore means that it affected them so the drivers will chose a keychain/keychains that relate to them and gice it each ints own meaing.

Connection Piece
So in this project I am focus on editors, cause they are the ones in charge of giving the form style on a book, and I will send them a formal letter to letting them know what are what students are expecting on a book, of all different topics, but I am going to focus on books about math and physics, cause this are the ones I more use, and I know what are the better books of this kind, they have to be step by step and lots of examples for each chapter.
Document Analysis
W=I am still oppnion on my work I like. For, now the item I chose, is of Newspaper Article. This is for workers who don't know that they have a voice in their work. The item, is used because it is to put out informations, not only of what is happening but what can a person do to help in things, like better work space. The working would show a picture on the subject showing what it talking of, then in the long sited work. Then having a think and bright letters to the wor
Document Analysis
On my document analysis I am talking about the strategies that the athletes should learn and also I explain how it works depending on the categories and different parts of the game, I also talk about the schedule that I am going to have, and the categories that we have and how we separate the athletes depending on their sport and position, on my document I also explain the kind of training that each athlete should practice, and also we teach them to use the strategies on the best situations to have a better performance, on my document I also affirm that I have some of the best coacher in the world and that they are able to help the athletes, I also explain that we count with many fields of different sports, but something of the more important is that we bring coaches from different colleges that can look at high school athletes to help them with different scholarships to go and play with their college, and also we have coaches from different professional teams that can look at college athletes that have the potential to be on a professional team a have a complete carrier where he can get pay.
Document analysis
My public document is directed for motivational speakers. I'm going to do like a questionary got them before they go out and speak so in that way they can make sure that they are covering all the aspects so in that way they will transmit their message correctly. This is for motivational public speakers because they really need to ask themselves if the way they are talking and the message are well developed so their audience will catch the audience.

For my public document i will create a flowchart for the engineering department of a manufacturer. Flowcharts are diagrams that show a process. This steps are usually showed by a series of shapes connected by arrows. Which show the correct sequence of something, and or sometimes shows the steps to answers for problems. For example a flowchart in programming is used to determine the structure of a program, if you do one thing you can have different ways to get to the answer .They are basically used to analyze, design, document, or manage a process. Each shape inside the flowchart has a meaning. If you for example see a diamond shape means "decision". "Actions" are usually represented by rectangles. Start and End are represented by circles. Inputs and outputs are represented by parallelograms. Conditions are represented by hexagons. And of course the arrows which are used to show the flow of the process. Flow charts are used in various fields.

Colors and shapes are important things when it comes up to babies toys. In my project 3 I will give examples of how interest affects meaning. For that I will make 2 babies toys, one in dark color and another one in bright and, shiny colors. Obviously babies prefer colorful things because they catch tier attention, and because of that the first colors that they learn about are red, yellow and blue. As we could see in other toys, they are colorful and bright, to catch the babies attention. I am not sure yet about the exactly toy that I am chosing, but I have plenty ideas about it.
Connection Peice
My idea of peer response messaged through a game strategy is the way i want to introduce this idea to soccer athletes. The way they work with each other is the way they use peer response. They use it everyday whether it is during practice or a game. When they practice, they become better just like peer response. When one is corrected, writing becomes better. It is by feedback the way we grow and try to achieve a better writing skill. My public document is a game play. It is something that my audience, soccer players can read easily. This translates my idea to them by showing something familiar. I have a field with soccer players in it. There are arrows that show the interaction between them, these arrows are the peer response. By the team work they do, they become better and give each other feedback. Each team member is important, as well as the coaches. That is why i specifically put the coaches outside of the field. This gives a meaning for the coach as a facilitator. The coaches represents the teachers. They are always there to help,

Document Analysis
While I’m still not sure what my public document is going to be I want to create something for children between ages 5 to 7. So it is for girls that are and like creativity. And it is not for boys; well it might interest some of them if they like to be creative. What I think I’m planning on doing is something with drawings and for girls to color them; I think I want to do it with very girly colors. I’m still not sure how I’m going to give them the message about note taking, because kids of this age don’t really take notes, they are more interested in playing so I have to figure out a way of making it very fun and playful for them. I really want to send out the message that note taking does improve your learning, and it is very important for them to take notes on their future, maybe not in kindergarten but in high school, middle school, etc.
Document Analysis
I will be creating a game play deign that encompasses the strategy of peer response. Being that my audience are soccer athletes, this will be a great way to familiarize them to the idea of peer response. A game play design is for any time of sport, specially field sports. This gives the players different kinds of “plays” that the coach works on. This is done to help better give an idea to the players once they go out on the field to beat their opponent. A game play design is usually done on a erase board. This must be quick and easy and straight to the point. Quick editing is a big part of the process of a game play. Coming up with strategies and revising them is what a board is all about when it comes to a game play for sports. This is done by the coaches, it is mainly done to reassure the players of what exactly is going on and what to do once they get on the field. This is away for the coaches to clearly and visually get their ideas into the minds of his team players. This presents its purpose visually. Presenting the coaches ideas visually helps the reader, in this case the players fully understand what it is exactly the coaches want out of them. A game play should be minimal and quick. All you need is a dry erase board and a black marker, and of course plenty of brilliant ideas.
Document Analysis
For this project I will do a formal letter, to send it to the editors, explaining the my theory, and I choose this cause is a formal way, and it´s so probably to read instead of another thing, and basically there is three parts in a formal letter: the layout, style of language and the purpose.
I think that just with this three parts I will nail my theory, cause it would be a seriously letter, with a formal style of language and my purpose is giving them tips of how it has to be the form of a book for different type of students, since children thru college students, and the different types of topics, what to focus on each topic, so I think this is a good way to get to my audience that in this case are the editors of the books, and cause I know they are serious people I know this is a good way to catch them, so in this project I will focus on books that their main topics are math or physics cause this are the subjects that I am habitual to work, and in this letter I will send them a good example of one good book, that all is clear and step by step, and another example that is all messy and unclear, there is not problem if the book is all messy when you have a teacher cause the teacher is the intermediary and he knows what he is teaching because for something he is what he is, but when is time to study by your own, this is difficult and more is the book is not clear, and finally in this letter I will give them some advices of how it should be edited a book, step by step, with the more examples that it can be for all the cases of each problem, different kind of exercises that not only focus on the actual topic, but also on the topics that have seen previously, for keep practicing what the student had learned.

Document Analysis
My project will be a magazine guide for school staff and will have as content information that will enable them to perform better at work and so get as far as possible in work. This magazine is not focused on teachers, because although they work for school, his work is focused on promoting education among students and this guide is full of motivations, ideas that make the staff have a better performance. This magazine will have a character guide and language appropriate for those who are going to run, so as the same purpose for readers to get feedback. The guide magazine will have different sections and in each there will be pictures that caught the attention of the reader, items that never get tired of reading and an overall tests that will let you know your job performance. This guide magazine works in a way that when you read that leaves you thinking about things you do at work that you like, things you do not like as sharing your work area with a person who simply can not tolerate or actually enjoy your work. The magazine is full of personal feedback for different types of workers. The purpose of this project is that school staff have to read a tool that will allow them to reflect on their work and so can try new methods to overcome.
Audience Analysis Revised
The audience for this project is the most important thing because without them we can’t start creating our thing for the project. Let's start by describing my audience, in this project I will focus on school personal. The school personal is dedicated to their work and they should always try to learn new methods for making a better work for the school and even in daily life. School staff tries to use their experience and knowledge learned through the years in a search for better opportunities. For this and many reasons I decided I wanted to focus my project to school staff and in some way based on the research from project 2, I would try to give them something that can really help them by getting some kind of feedback that allows them to continue developing an excellent job. This guide or magazine is focused on all personal that really care about their work and not about mediocrity. What I try to do is give school personal a tool that that would help them develop a better work in order to increase their opportunities of having a better life by getting feedback about their work.

audience analysis
well for this project i chose drivers. why drivers because most of us drive and each carry difrent things in our keys for example key chains. all of us who drive and have a vehichle have a keychian and the key chains most of the times talk about ous who we are. well like mentioned above this project will be for teens-adults who drive and each one is gona relate to a particualr keychain and give it its own meaning to it. because thats what we do with the keychains we have we choose one and we chose it because it gave or meant something to us for exaple maybe someones keychain has a guitar. why? because it was intresting for that person or maybe they had prior knoledge with it maybe they play the guitar so that guitar gives meaning to them and represents them.
project 2 reflective essay
well to start of i knew or had idea what the answer to my theory was and wanted to prove it. it all started by my self i dont like to read or writte but when i relate to what im writting or am familiarized whit what their talking about i gauge a certain intrest on it and also with prior knoledge on the topic or what ever their talking about i can come up with conclusions and make meaning to things i wouldnt of had if i hadnt had prior knoledge or intrest on it. the answers i got from my survey back up my theory that having interest on the topic affect our learning and way of seeing things. most people said that they dont like what they read daily(work/school) but they liked what they read on their spare time. and knew what it was talking about and understood it completely and that our ideas can be expanded more if we are familliarized and like mentioned before we could also infer some meanings of words or see what their talking about in a different prospective if we are familiarized or have intrest on the topic. this reaserch has priven to mee and will prove to who ever does it that having intrest or familarity with the topic will aftect our learing and meaning so i think that students in schools should writte on topics or things they are familiarzed with and also they will be familriazed and have intrest and their ideas can blow up more asier than if they are put to writte something they dont now about. and for me tha hadest part was to trying to put everything togher in one whole pieace of this projects and look for the appropiate words to talk about the research/survery done.

The audience I have chosen our poetry writers/readers because form aids interpretation ..and in order to read or create something you must have a form to start off with ? And I believe that if people become aware of this it will help them understand and interpret the meaning better. Probably my resent idea has changed but it's still relates back to my question.are readers aware when interpretation happens?? I have chosen this audience because they must be aware of how form changes someones interpretation .. I think if you do a poem with out form your not goin to be able to understand the meaning . But when u use form u knw what to expect and read.
Audience Analysis
For project three I decided that my audience will be public speakers. I chose them because my interest on project two was focus on the audience and I believed that the ones that care the most about this are the public speakers because they dont only value their own audience but the response and the feedback they get from it. The reason why I'm saying this is because their job is to stand up in front of an audience and transmit a message so without the audience their message is not worth it at all. I want tom focus my project on public speakers because i want to help them create a balance between the audience and the message they are trying to communicate so in that way the wont lose it. I'll focus mainly on motivational public speakers because due to the response of the audience they can see if they are working correctly.
Question on project three
What is a good tool/interactive material that you would want use to use for project three????

Audience Analysis
My audience for this project are people that are athletes that want to success on any sport, they could be boys and girls and the approximately age could be from high school to athletes from college. With this project I want to help athletics to continue and develop more abilities that can help them to reach the next level of their sport, for example for the kids from high school we can help them to develop their best abilities and that way they can have bigger opportunity to be watch by couches from different colleges and that way they can earn different scholarships and have more opportunities to have a better future, and it could be also for college athletes , and this the most important audience, because if they learn what they need to learn they could go and play with professional teams, and also on this program we can provide athletes agents that can help them find a good team, I think that the sport that I need to focus on is football an especially with kickers because that is the position that need to have more strategies and strategies really important that can help them improve their abilities.
Project 2 (
The advantages of multilingualism .
Introduction
The main topic in my number two project are the advantages that multilingualism provides to students and also how it helps develop new neurological networks that wouldn’t be activated by other means.
My main goal is to discover how much does multilingualism infers in to academic performance and what other abilities might it trigger .
The constant use of more that one language in one’s life has proven to be very beneficial both in Academic and Regular life For example one text that helps develop my theory is Moll/Gonzalez: Lessons from Research with Language-Minority Children ,which I would like to quote from page number 157 and it says in reference to minority children who study English ,but have different native languages.
“Children can formulate their own research questions, search for and document their sources of information, abstract relevant information from multiple text, conduct interview to supplement their readings and produce text that summarize and communicate what they have learned.”
So as I’m trying to portrait here, the main idea of this project is to prove beyond doubt how beneficial is multilingualism, in quantitative terms if possible. While trying to prove my belief several question come to mind as: Which is the best stage to learn a different languages? Or How do brain synapses change while learning new languages?
So as we can presume language is a crucial part in our understanding of the world and also the framework of our own thoughts, so its impact on our intellectual development is indispensable. As Seneca said once “Speech is the mirror of the mind”
Literature Review.
In addition of scientific text such as Moll/Gonzales , I Review other scientific material such as Dufresne, Therese and Masny, Diana, "Multiple literacies: Linking the research on bilingualism and biliteracies to the practical", Paediatr Child Health. 2006 November; 11(9): 577–579 and also 2. Hakuta, Kenji "Cognitive Development of Bilingual Children", Center for Language Education and Research .This two articles provided a lot of information and research that had been done before and help’s to confirm my previous statement.
For example Summarizing Dufrense and Mansy their article addresses the fundamental developmental differences between monolingualism and bilingualism, as outlined in the literature.
It takes into account research using qualitative and quantitative methodologies and reviews the advantages and possible disadvantages of bilingualism in preschool children.
Paraphrasing this same article another interesting fact that is presents to us,
is that bilingual children tent to elaborate more detailed and concrete descriptions of a story while monolingual children narrate more condensed and crude versions of the same story.
To increase the validity of my ideas and my theory I would like to quote on the same article where it states “Subsequent research ( has indicated that bilingual children are better than monolingual children at judging the grammaticality of sentences that contained distracting semantic anomalies”
Yet another good example that encourage my theory in this same article is when it shows clearly indications of abstract and rhetorical understanding of concepts in bilingual children”
Hakuta, Kenji The other article that I used on my research ,mostly refers to the result of his experiments and the benefits that Multilanguage have proven to show in his results .
For instance paraphrasing, one of the most recurrent results point to the increase of new neuronal path ways that help prevent memory degeneration that happens naturally with ageing
On the other side this article also talk a lot about the importance of learning this in early stages of development where it’s easier for the children and the absorption and understating of information is at it’s peak.
To greater illustrate my point , I would like to direct quote this same article where its say’s “It is best to introduce them to different languages early on and not wait. Right from when they are babies if possible. But, you can introduce different languages at any time in the critical period of birth to puberty. It is not too late and their brain is still ripe to pick up languages.”
Connection Piece.
The counter part of what my theory is trying to prove , is that also several studies had showed that bilingualism might also have some disadvantages in the integral development of the students , in some cases the early mixture of languages might end up delaying the full understanding of ones own language .
For instance in an Article that I have previously review from Aprana Lyer she points out several disadvantages that should be take in consideration, for example she’s says that : The system of bilingual education demanded separate teachers and classrooms and believed in gradual integration into society by allowing children to receive education in their native language for a period of 3 or more years. Proponents of a single medium of instruction opposed bilingual education since they believed that separate teachers and classrooms would widen the already existing gap between citizens and immigrants.
What this means briefly is that the fact that minorities or immigrants receive classes on their own language might increase the gap between the citizens and the minorities , also Aprana in her article points out , other problems with bilingualism for the education system for example the lack of classrooms , she arguments that there is a dearth of classrooms that can accommodate students who require instructions in both English and their native language. Students are expected to sit together in one class regardless of their age and the variations in the required level of education. This poses a great problem for teachers who, in addition to being well versed in two languages, have to exhibit a certain level of comfort in handling different levels of education simultaneously. So even when there’s enough evidence in favor of bilingual education , like most thing in life there’s always a down side to thing , or better put there are implications that must be address, but even with all the disadvantages that might present on the process of transition to bilingual or multilingual education it’s very likely that even so bilingual education should be taken more seriously because of all the multiple advantages that might provide to students on early stages of their education. :)

Audience Analysis
The audience that i have chosen are children between the ages of 3-5, mainly because those are the ages when i think that kids begin their communicative abilities. I remember growing up knowing spanish because my parents are from mexico, but at school I learned english. My parents were not too experienced with speaking english, so i would sometimes translate for them when we were at a store or at some public place and they didn't understand what some one was saying to them, or didn't know how to say something back. By showing kids that it is not only helpful, but fun, to be able to speak and read two languages, i hope that they can use it and develop into well educated people with an expanded and creative mind that will lead them to being more than average. How i am going to show that is still a blurr, i was thinking about a coloring or pop up book, something that is hands on and entertaining, but i am not quite sure yet.
Audience Analysis
my audience for this project is a family with children from ages 1-12 I think it is the best audience since children are now very influenced with what they see on tv. Families should be very careful about what their kids watch on tv. This would be for girls and boys. I know age can depend on gphow they think, but kids all like the same things in general , some thing to keep entretained. I remember that the old cartoons I watched were totally innocent compared with what kids watch now in which you could see that they talk about having girlfriend/ boyfriend or kissing and all that stuff that it is not adequate for kids of 12 and under. So I think society/family/ kids are influenced by all the different things they watch now on TV. What a family do now days is just sit down and watch tv, they dont try a different things like play outside with their kids or ride a bike or any other different activity. I think for a family it is important to stay together as what they are a "family", in which you should teach your children the different important values, which they seem are getting lost by many societies.
AA;
my audience for this project is for pre k kids. what i am doing in this project is to help pre kindergarten students to understand meaning when they read(if they read) by having books with drawings. Eventually by this they just not understand the meaning of what they are reading but also they get an idea of what is going on in the story by seeing the pictures. Books like this certainly can be very valuable to children in the age of 5-8, why? Because they just want to have fun drawing or just doing creative things in their classes. They also value being around with other kids and playing. So this kind of book can be very helpful in their learning and growing up. Books like this can turn out to a children best way of learning and be helpful.
Audience Analysis P3
For my audience I’m going to have kindergarten children (boys and girls), from ages between 5 and 7. What these kids are most interested in is playing around with other kids. They like creative and fun activities like drawing, coloring, reading them a story, singing, and dancing. They like to be entertained, but they also like to sleep. They learn age appropriate things, like math, science, English, a little bit of everything, they do it with their classmates and they grow together. It is very important to keep all the kids doing something so they don’t get bored. What’s important for them is to have a lot of fun with the other kids. Doing puzzles, crafts, and fun projects is what they like to do everyday, also interacting and playing with other people. They like to have a natural and nice environment, that’s one thing that affects on the way they learn, like if the teacher is in a bad mood and is always mad talking really bad and with a very dark and boring classroom, the kids wont like to be there and they just wont pay attention and they won’t feel secure. They like to do things that they enjoy.
Audience Analysis
Athletes are my audience in this project, specifically soccer players. I am trying to incorporate the idea of peer response into a game play to clearly represent how peer response works and what are the benefits to these athletes. I am doing a board game strategy that shows how peer response works to these atheletes. Connecting peer response through a game play which they are familiar with, gives a way to connect. These athletes are mainly 17-30 year old males. Soccer players are all about speed, technique, endurance, agility, mentality, dedication, and a good team player. All these characteristics can be found through out the fields of soccer players. Coordination and team work are two of the main contributions a player can give to their team. The most important thing they value is each other. This can be to win games and succeed, they depend on each other. In order for a team to be strong, each player must have a relaxed mind that is at ease, that way they can each focus on their own tasks which leads to team work. Soccer players value their coach, this is another part of their team. Probably the most important factor in their whole field. The coach acts as the leader, or a teacher in academic tearms. They also value the more obvious, like a good turf, fair referee, soccer balls, nice climate, and a crowd to cheer them on.
Audience Analysis
My principal audience would be the editors of a book because they are the ones who design de the books, and my theory is “how does form of a book, affects the student learning”, so this project is for them, the editors, they are the one who publishes the books, and all the learning magazines, pamphlets, etc. I think they are only focus on putting what is the important information on books, but not anyone knows how, because they just put it but not in that order that the student will understand, and I think they should be a way, cause not all the books are directed for the same gender, some are for kids, other for all type of students, since kindergarten to college students, so they have to make a analysis to which audience they are directed, and the editors also have to know what would be their goals in a book, not just put bunch of information in no order, they have to do a plan of how the will impact on their audience, but not all the editors are wrong, cause I have seen books that are well explain and they teach you step by step. And I think they should care, the largest market is the schools, since kindergarten to college, and they should take care of one opinion because we, the students, consequently are their principal buyers, and my theory is simple, just do researches to the students of the different topics that they do books, for a better work, that satisfies the student, and makes efficient a self study.

Audience Analysis
The audience for this project is the most important thing because without them we can’t start creating our thing for the project. Let's start by describing my audience, in this project I will focus on teachers. The teachers are dedicated to teaching, are always trying to learn new methods of how to make their students interested in school and even in daily life. Teachers try to convey their experience and knowledge learned through the years. For this and many reasons I decided I wanted to focus my project to teachers and in some way based on the opinion of the students, to give them something that can really help them by getting some kind of feedback that allows them to continue to encourage their students improve. Something I also want to add is that the fact that I am student allows me to say that some teachers do care about the learning of their students and others just simply do nothing to help them become better. This guide or magazine is focused on all teachers who really care about their students and not fall into mediocrity. What I try to do is give teachers a tool that really helps them to continue pushing students to succeed.
Proposal for Project 3
My proposal for this project is to make a magazine with exclusive content from my theory will help the reader. As this project is dedicated to teachers, the magazine will have to have a very professional style, an appropriate language and interesting content. It is true that teachers are accustomed to read much, but I think this time will read what will not work for some students but a guide to help them get ideas and tips on how to make your students strengthen their values, their grades by tutoring and review of their work. Therefore my theory is that teachers will be focused on that just as they teach us new things day by day, they too will learn something from us.
Homework Reminder
Starting on Project Three!!
If you have yet to read up on Project three I suggest you go find it under our writing projects and do so! For P3 we'll be taking our finding from P2 and creating public documents! What's a public document? It's a text, a thing, that is designed and created for a particular audeince. Your public document will also depend on the nature of what you want to do to that audience, what you want them to "get" when they see your document.
Now that means that we're going to have pay close attention to what our message is, who are audeince is and what kind of document we are creating. To get you thinking about that I want you to write up your P3 proposals and your audeince analysis! :)
As a class we all came up with the kinds of information the proposal needs to cover:
The message.
Your audience.
You public document
How you will develop your idea through that document for that audience.
Your audience.
You public document
How you will develop your idea through that document for that audience.
REmember your proposal is a text you are writing to me, while it's a plan of sorts part of it's job is to convince me of your plan as well. A list wont cut it!
You'll also have to complete your Audience Analysis by Tuesday Midnight! So what gos into this Audience analysis? How do you get the info? In your audience analysis you need to discuss who your audience is, specific age, sex, etc. What they do day to day, and what they value. What is important to them, why do they do what they do, how does it define them as that particular audience. Your Audience Analaysis must be a minimum of 200 words. You can absolutely use the internet to explore your audience. You can also interview people and find out first hand what they care about and why and what they do and why. But don't forget to cite these sources! If you used wiki or some other website include the web address at the end of your Audience Analysis!
don't just go looking for descriptions of your audience though! (which wiki will do!) Instead consider going to places your audeince works or to spaces your audience values! For example, if I choose Science bloggers as my audience I might go look at actual blogs run by these very writers adn try to idetify what is important to them myself rather than simply wiki-ing "Science bloggers" and trying to make sense of someone else's description and analysis.
Due tonight, Monday by midnight, posted to the class blog: 100 word min Project 3 Proposal.
Due Tuesday night, posted to class blog: 200-250 word Audience Analysis.
Audience Analysis
Once you've determined your audience you can begin your analysis of them. The more specific your audience the more detailed you can be. Children carries a wide range of ages in it. Does a 3 year old value the same things as a 13 year old?
In your audience analysis you need to discuss who your audience is, specific age, sex, etc. What they do day to day, and what they value. What is important to them, why do they do what they do, how does it define them as that particular audience.
Your AA must be a minimum of 200 words. You can absolutely use the internet to explore your audience. You can also interview people and find out first hand what they care about and why and what they do and why.
Proposal P3
My message: Does television have a negative influence on society?
I want to write about how tv affects or not our family, our society. I think it is a good topic because is something everyone is involved with. So my audience would be a family. How does tv directly affects a family or children? My public document could be videos of different scenarios in which you can tell if tv has influenced or not in their behavior.

Audiences analysis revised
My audience if for gamers For the call of duty black ops. This is a different audience from any of the other call of duty games because all have different game play and some people like this one and some people prefer to play the modern warfare 2. This audience is mostly guys but there are girls who play this game to and the age varies from kids age 12 to adults age 40(around there somewhere) I don't really have a basic age for that but it's a wide variety of people. I'm thinking on a day to day basis they probably play for two to five hours or they play all day or some only play for an hour or two it depends if they have free time or if they have a life or something important to do.the game is like a way to show off there skills in the game and a feeling of pride in what they do.It is different to pro gamers make playing games ther life and to them they would be playing and for some one who isn't the kind of person who plays games wouldn't want to read the data that I came up with and would jest basiclly ignor it because it doesn't perain to his he is a different audience, it's like trying to feed meat
to a vegaterian he jest wouldn't have any inters in what I would be talking about. The audience that I'm trying to connect to would be people who like first person shooter games and I would try to connect all of them together and see if they would try to play call of duty black ops because there are some people who like one kind of first person shooter and jest stick to that kind of game and don't want to try anothere one.

Proposal project 3
My message will be clear and it would just nail the main idea, the audience will be editors of the books am I am not sure how will be the public document
P3
Pre-k
My message is how does drawings help understand the meaning of readings.
Bring a home made book with drawings to give an example of meaning.

Proposal p.3
For my project 3 I think that my message could be how knowing two languages can be helpful by being able to translate words. I think that I will use children in day cares from the ages of 3-5 as my audience. I am going to create a coloring book with illustrations of common things with the name of that thing in both English and Spanish (I will use Spanish as the alternative language because it is the other one that I know)
Proposal for project 3
1. Message: my message will be to create a balance between the audience and the message itself. Whenever a stirrer writes something should focus on this two th Inge because without an audience the message will be nothing at all and without a message you don't really need and audience.
2. Audience: everybody who don't write for living, who write only to communicate a message.
3. My public document will be probably a questionary for the people who write something and try to check if they are communicating its message.

Propousal number 3
The message i want to get to people must be something interactive at least , i would like for the audience to do some of the thinking ,I would like my target audience to be the visual art and independent dessigne developers , they way i would like to atract that kind of audience is by doing some ambigous propaganda something that doesn't has just one particular meaning insted i would like to push the audience to give their own meaning to my document getting hem involve with the idea.
Proposal for P3
-The message is to encourage teachers to develop new methods for learning in order to students assist to tutorings or revision for their work.
-The audience is teachers obviously.
-It can be a magazine with proper language for the audience and with content that would help them in their tasks.

project 3 proposal
i think my message might be yes relating/intrest on a topic will affect your learning/meaning. my audience would be persons that are not active readers and some that are active readers. i would do a recepy and see if people who had prior knoledge or expierience will be familiar with and maybe give it its own lil taste and maybe would of add somethinga and some one for example thats not familiar with it they would follow the recepy and will leave the steps as they are and will not try to add their own touch to it.
----------------------------------------------
well that was my old proposal but i has changed now i m oging to do an advertising or poster this project is going to bee for drivers teens-adults. the poster/advertising is going to have six keys with diffrent keychains on it and in the top its going to ask which are your keys? so prior knoledge and intrest in the topic will make each person give meaning to each set of keys and make them think if which keys relate more to them.

Proposal Project 3
My message is to help new athletics that want to be successful. My audience would be athletics that want to inprube their abilities be learning some new strategies. My public document could be offering camps where couches can teach athletics. I will poust some directions where athletics can go.
Proposal: P3
Peer response is involved in everything weather you realize it or not, group work is a form of peer response. Weather it is helpful or not is another question. Seeing how many athletic games contribute with team work i have decided to focus my audience to athletes. Athletes play sports, all sports require some sort of team work which gives me a perfect way to develop ideas to present peer response to athletes. I will convey this message by doing a “game plan strategy” that shows how peer response works and how it affects team work and group work. By creating a “game play” kind of design that is interesting and able to easily connect to athletes, they will focus and understand easier.

Reflective Essay
Coming up with an idea for the project was not hard at all. How i was going to expand it into an essay, now that was a different story. Day after day i saw everybody in the class getting work done, except me. untill i realized that if i dont start i can't finish. So i got off to a rocky start, but with alot of hard work i got through it. My project was on how being bilingual can be of help when you are reading. I used two articles we had read together in the class and a different one that bonnie helped me to find to help me and show my idea. i also surveyed students, so that i may see different point of views from other students. I found that alot of students are infact bilingual but do not see it as an advantage like i do. This project proved to be interesting, especially since we get to choose the subject on which we do it on. I got a chance to see how other students think, and that helped me to understand a little more about how some students feel about their ability to speak a language other than english. This project was neither successful or unsuccessful, it was simply informative. This was a good idea for a project because at the same time that we are showing how we think and why we think in that way, we are improving our writing abilities, and learning both from ourselves and others. I hope that i can get through our next project as smoothly as i did this one, without the late start though.

In this project I feel good cause I think I talk about something that it´s so important but not everyone gives that importance it deserves and it´s the form of a book, how it´s affect in the learning of something, I did noticed that it doesn´t matter on all the topics, but I realized that this is one key point in subjects that have numbers like math and physics, but is not that important on history books and topics like that. The professors had to be prepared with the material of support to give the students, cause the majority of the time the students are learning from the book, instead of the class, so the professor have to be very careful with the books they choose cause it would affect the student ratings, also a book is for all the life, and I prefer a book that is clear and just says what I need to know, instead of a book that has lots of information that I will never use on all my life, and I think all the student thinks like me. Although I haven´t done my project I feel satisfy with my results and I know I will prove my theory cause it has sense.
