The Quest For Refuge

The Audio Bio project demonstrated our ability to reflect on our lives and create a story that someone else would care about. Through the creation of my story about working at the beach I had to remind myself of the "so what" which I aimed for the listener to get out of my story. 

​

"Articulate and apply theoretical, rhetorical, and ethical considerations pertinent to writing in public spheres."

​

I think my work with the audio bio best exemplifies this course objective because I had to take a story that otherwise would only be important to me, and make it something that others could relate to as well. I had to consider the appeals to emotion, as well as the audience that the piece was intended for to convey as message that they would care and learn from.

​

"Adhere to appropriate citation conventions, fair use, and copyright for primary and secondary sources from a variety of media platforms"

​

I also learned about the ethics of using music was the licensed under the Creative Commons. I had to find music that was licensed by the creator to be used in my work. I also used this skill when adding pictures to my website. I had to fist find pictures that were licensed under the Creative Commons, and then attribute or cite them properly.
