Claim and Evidence

For our next project we had to come up with a argument and claim with evidence. The claim I went with was why do people illegally download music. Which can be a argumentative claim so i had to come up with some evidence why people download music. One example of some evidence is "students who share or steal music downloaded off the Internet do so because they feel morally justified and believe others are doing it even more, rather than because of economic reasons, and these perceptions help make illegal downloading a habitual and sometimes even addictive behavior." That should be enough evidence to hold you off till I finish my paper, I don't want to give away my whole paper now.

My most recent arguement

My most recent argument was last night at the Blackhawks game when my friends and I spotted a Detroit Red Wings fan and yell Detroit sucks. After that the Detroit fan started off by saying whens the last time the Blackhawks won a championship. When the Detroit fan said that our response was were beating you right now and going to make it to the play offs and win it this year. Then after that was said the Detroit fan didn't really have much to say so as we told her to go back to Detroit as she walked back to her seat. So we for sure won that argument and just went back to watching the hawks kill Detroit.

Reflection Blog

This blog is about my latest project the multimodal project. In which we had to use different sources to get our points across to the reader like typed text, a power point and a podcast. When doing this project you had to take a lot of things into mind such as the audience. The audience that I took into mind was of course our teacher and everyone else in the class but also any one who would be interested or knows anything about pirating music in my case. As for the design I went with a simple layout just so no one gets confused and is easy on the eyes. Also have the links easy to find and the in text links obvious that they are there. Which goes along with the organization of my project which I wanted to be easily followed and flow from one page to the next so the reader doesn’t get confused with the direction I was trying to go in. after taking all those things in aspect it is hopefully easy for the reader to follow along and a well suited for the reader. Some of the parts I think I did particularly good on is the typed text I came up for the project which took some time and research to find and put in the right wording. I’m like the ease in which you can find my text go from one subject to the next. One of the only things I wish I had more time on would have been the layout as far as how good it looks. And just wish I had a little more knowledge on the podcasts since I have never done one before would have helped me out a bit. That’s probably one of the only technical aspects I wasn’t really good with or had any experience with. As for the sources and research all came pretty easy since it is a pretty well known and debated topic all over the world. So all in all the project was alright just thought we should have had a little more time with the project.
