I had challenges trying to compact my research paper into a smaller project. I did enjoy changing it into a power point because I like power points and I think they're easy and simple for people to understand. But when I realized I was having troubles trying to condense my paper, I just tried to take out the main points of my paper and put those into bullet points. Then I tried to find pictures that would best go along with the main points.
My purpose of the remediation project was to explain my topic and argument as simple as possible. I wanted the audience to really understand the controversy so I tried to give an equal amount of attention to both sides of the argument, so they would have a clear understanding. I think I did a decent job at the remediation, I probably could have done better had I not started off with a research paper and the assignment was just the power point itself. But I think for a first time doing this kind of project I think it turned out alright. When I watched it over again I was able to understand the main arguments pretty well so hopefully people who didn't read my research paper or haven't heard of anything on the controversy, that they got a pretty solid understanding.
I felt like my audience changed when I made the power point because I felt like my research paper has a more limited audience of adults and or teachers of some sort. But when I changed it to a power point, I feel like my audience shifted to younger people, more around my age. I felt like that made the tone of my argument change from a more formal to informal, and less factual to more visual.
I found that I had to do a lot of research for the research paper, and when creating the power point, I had to figure out a way to get my information across with less research and more pictures and visuals. Rather than looking up facts I was looking up pictures and adding animations that I thought fit best with the words/pictures.
