This is my prep sheet for our Socratic seminar in class about Prop 57. I chose this sheet because I took time to really understand each argument. I think you can read anything but being able to understand it, especially when it's as complicated as Prop 57, is very important! I put myself in the different side's shoes to get an idea of where they're coming from and this helped a lot to understand each argument and rebuttal.

This is the Podcast Hackathon Squad Assessment from the prequel project. If you want to learn more about that you can click this link:
I chose this as something I'm proud of because I really took time to think about what I appreciated about each member and what they were able to contribute. I think when you take the time to do this you really start to feel grateful for each person and you build a respect for each other.

This is the worksheet I had to fill out after listening to a podcast, called "High on the Corporate Ladder." I chose this worksheet because I learned a lot about what I can put into a podcast to enhance different parts and engage listeners. The podcast didn't only teach me what to do but also what I shouldn't do. I took the parts where I lost focus or started to get bored and asked myself, "Why did I lose focus?" My answer to that question told me what I needed to avoid in the making of my podcast.

Coming up with our burning question was actually really difficult. Because the most surprising thing about Prop 57 is about how there is a loophole where rape could be considered nonviolent, I think all three squads in our voltron group wanted to focus on that. This was a problem because all three of our burning questions ended up being a reworded version of, "What makes a crime nonviolent?"

We did the interview over phone so we used these special headphones that have a microphone in the earbud. It was plugged into a handheld recorder, and it was able to record what Reginald was saying and what Matthew was asking him. We conducted our interview in Dr. P's office and it was very nerve-racking. We didn't have headphone splitters in, until the end, so we only heard one end of the interview for the most part. When we listened back to the interview, while tape logging, I think the best part of the interview was definitely hearing Reginald open up about how he couldn't be there for his daughter. It was powerful and it really showcased what inspired him.
A tape log is when you listen back to all your audio and write down notes. You want to write at least one word for every sentence, that way when you start editing it will be really easy to look for your audio. |
At exhibition I remember feeling really nervous going up on stage. I've never been the most confident person at public speaking. When we were listening to our podcast with everyone in the audience, as I heard the lines that reminded me of this moment and that moment I couldn't help but laugh. The audience may have been paying attention to Reginald's words but I was reliving the project through his words.
