Remediation Reflection

This remediation assignment was a little challenging but overall an easier assignment than I would have thought. I had to take my research paper, and turn it into some sort of media. I chose to make my research paper into a power point with a voice offer. Some of my strengths during this remediation assignment were creating the actual power point. In my opinion, power points are more fun and more visual when you are presenting an idea. I liked putting images along with my words and also making the power point bright and vibrant so that it would draw more attention to the topic I was speaking on. Some challenges for me while creating this power point was the voice over. I did not want to seem as if I was rambling on and on, but I also wanted to speak on as much information that I could. I also wanted my voice over to sound natural and non-rehearsed. I took each paragraph from my research paper and summarized them into terms that were easy to understand, and would not bore the viewer of my assignment. In the end, it made my voice over sound a lot more natural than just reading something word for word. I liked the remediation assignment because we do not use a whole lot of media projects when it comes to English courses. Writing numerous papers all semester starts to become tedious and it is refreshing to do an assignment that is a little different.
