Promises of Prom

The podcast you are about to watch is about prom. To most proms are seen as a ceremony that only takes place during your high schools years. The podcast talks about prom from three different people. One who didn’t go to prom, one who did, and who will one day go to prom

Reflection:

 

During this project I learnt many new things and skills. I leaned that garage band is a awesome application that can be useful for more projects. While editing it was hard to know when to stop so for future reference I know that in order for your final product not to sound so chopped up, you have to spend more time editing then interviewing. What was unexpected was that I could turn my garage band work into iTunes songs. That helped me understand better because I deal with music files a lot. Also the project taught me that crossing boundaries doesn’t just mean to cross boundaries that decide the world. When I heard some of the other projects one was about hair. While others were about race, so the range of boundaries that people could cross was a wide one. From this project I think crossing boundaries means to go past the normal’s of society and try to stay there. By doing this it can cause the person much pain or discrimination from peers but the effects can lead to a new social normal for society. It would cost the person many things for example, it could cost a person their job or family support but to reap the benefits of it can be beneficial for everybody. If a person were to not move from their seats when told because they are colored, they are setting new criteria that not everybody has to move. That person crossed the boundaries of race. From doing this project I learnt that not everything is important as I thought. If you don’t go to something it doesn’t mean you will not live your life or that the world will destroy itself. Even though from the project I also learned that I will be attending my prom because I cannot have the thought that something happened and I wasn’t there. Learning that I realized I’m nosier than I thought. All around this project was fun and new because I never used garage band before.

This is cool . I liked your interview with the senior. It was funny because it was packed with emotions. It seemed like you edited parts out and it made me question why. I had an exception to hear something. But, it was good.

This was a very good podcast and I agree with Goldie with that fact that you chose a person who did, didn't, and will soon go to prom. Interesting topic about prom, you had a great podcast.

I really liked the interview. I thought it was cool how you interviewed someone who didn't go to prom, someone who did, and someone who will go. Especially with doing an SLA senior, so we can hear an opinion from our own school. I liked the idea of all the different perspectives and thought the interview went well! :)
