April 28th Ted Talk

Now that the Ted Talk is done, I feel pleased with the work that I had done. I'm relieved that I got it done and handed it in on time. I was very into the topic that I had chosen since I can relate to it and have had some experiences with this. The issue on Gangs and Gang violence is something I think everyone should be informed on for their own security. This topic affects a lot of people and their families, it affects people who aren’t even gang affiliated. No matter what, eventually at one point in your life you will come across someone who is in a gang. I was happy to be informative on the topic to hopefully bring more attention to all the things going on in the world because of this. It was easy to write about this topic because I was already informed on the topic and experience it in my everyday life. Three of my strengths during this assignment were my abilities to find research quickly, my ability to put some of my personality into my writing so it wouldn't sound like a research paper and the organization of my paper. My weaknesses were citing my sources, staying on topic and not being more creative when making my video. I wanted to have props and a nice background but I was running out of time, I could've done a lot better with my video but at least I got it done.
