The goal of this project is to develop skills in generating ideas by reflecting on personal preferences and experiences and how they enhance your knowledge or interest in the future. You will need to assess your audience and follow conventions of narrative essays to complete this project successfully. You will also use the steps of the writing process to compose a successful draft. Purpose: The goal of this assignment is to show your audience how a real life event inspired your interest in a social issue. You will have to choose a social issue that is important to you (this can be as simple as hair care or as complex as a key political issue). The story should be used to show your audience why this social issue is important to you. Beyond telling a story, you are explaining why that story is important to your interest and understanding of your issue. Content: This genre requires details and information that will help your audience visualize the events you are recounting. You are telling a story about a single event that influenced your interest in the social issue you are discussing. You get to choose the issue and decide how to approach it. This is creative non-fiction and you must focus around an actual event, but this can be interspersed with details that have the essence of the event even if they are not completely accurate. For example, if you cannot recall a conversation verbatim, you can still use that conversation in text by telling your audience the essence of what was said, even if it is not the exact language used. The conversation and topic must be based on real events. The overall goal of this essay is to relate an event to your interest in your chosen social issue. Do not focus solely on the narrative aspects of your experience and fail to explain what it led to and what it taught you about your issue.

Our discussion for this week starts to dig into the first chapter. First though, we are also going to discuss learning. I want you to develop goals for yourself this semester. Please list three goals. Answer the question-how your are going to accomplish the goals-what is the plan? So if you have a goal of doing my homework early. How are you going to do that? Maybe that means putting the homework on a calendar or a task list. Maybe that means you create a to-do list on your computer. Whatever works for you. The list that I posted is designed for face to face learning, but adapt to online learning.
1) Using the goal list as a guide, develop 3 goals and explain how you are going to accomplish those goals.
A challenge in online learning is the social interaction that can happen in face to face learning situations seems to be lost. So read the Learning is Socially Interactive handout. Given that we understand that learning is enhanced by social interaction, how can we incorporate that into this class?
I have posted a communication model for you. It is a transactional model of communication.
3)Explain why this model is transactional. Look at the Context element. What are some examples of how those factors might influence a communication interaction? Look at the Communicator elements (Culture, Education, Experiences, Moods, Emotions) give some examples of how these factors influence your interactions.
