My topic for project three was the pitfalls of college independence. Financial management is the most common struggle young adults face. I used various different mediums to support my theme: a blog, letters to three organizations that relate to college issues, and a fable. The main purpose of project number three was to inform my audience about common issues faced by young adults in today’s society.
The blog that I created was titled The Pitfalls of College Independence. My blog consists of a variety of information that is relevant to my topic. Organizations that I found to relate to college were FAFSA, IEFA, and NAFSA. I wrote to these organizations to thank them for helping future college students afford college tuition, and giving them the opportunity to receive a high level of education. Another thing that was posted on my blog was my research paper, in which I took a deeper look into common college struggles and how they are handled. The fable was aimed at a target audience of fifth through eighth graders. To teach young children responsibility, I chose to create a board game that teaches children how to behave and succeed. The board consists of numerous squares, which are either a good deed or a bad deed. If a player lands on a good square, they receive a small piece of candy. If a player lands on a bad square, candy is taken away from them. I think that this will teach kids what not to do in today’s society, and what is considered correct behavior in society.
To guide my construction of project number three, various tools and ideas were used. I posted all of my ideas on my online blog so that other viewers could see them. I am looking forward to adding video clips or other appealing extras to make my blog more eye-catching.
