mm reflection

After finishing this project I felt so much relief. I don’t know why this was such a hard project for me, but I could not start it, and once I did get it started I didn’t know where to go with it. After getting a lot of help from everyone in the class I was able to narrow down my topic and work with what others wanted to see from it. I feel that my audience was very clearly portrayed. I did not find it hard to figure out who I wanted to target, it was more difficult narrowing down what I wanted to say to them. I found that the peer reviews from other class members, along with from Crystal, helped a great deal. Everyone was so eager to help out I didn’t have any trouble finding someone to critique my work and help add something else in. I think I did a good job in focusing on a specific audience and having a special purpose. I believe that everyone, living with a child that is disabled or not, should have an understanding of how to cope with the struggles. My purpose was to tell people it is ok to be scared and not know all the answers, as long as they find someone to help them through the hard and trying times. I also feel that my organization and presentation of the topic were really good. I feel that I made a very clear point and that anyone that looked at my project would have no problem figuring out what it is about. I feel that I covered all aspects of my topic, and that it is a great source of information for any individual that wishes to look into how to deal with an individual with disabilities. For the multimodal project, I feel I did it a lot better than the last two because I had more experience and knowledge about the programs used and more of an idea of what I was working with. I think I could have made it a little fancier and more eye-catching if I had more time, but overall I am very proud of what I accomplished though out the class. It took a lot of work and re-doing, but I feel my project is a wonderful reflection of what I have learned and done in this class!
