my way or the highway
My ideal way to communicate my ideas for this paper, or any paper for that matter, is via speech. I consider myself a relatively strong public speaker. Thanks to my years of acting in various plays and performances, I have pretty much lost any fear of making a fool out of myself in front of a group of people. I feel like speeches connect with the audience better than making them read an essay. I would also like to have a PowerPoint presentation to work with so I could hopefully connect with both audio and visual learners. I work with PowerPoint presentations often at work and have found them to be quite helpful at holding an audiences attention. Besides being more effective, I would also rather this method because I believe I would find it easier to prepare. I am not a strong writer in a formal "paper" format. It actually makes me nervous as I struggle to find the perfect words to express my thoughts. I also have trouble getting started on papers and finding the motivation to make it through them by their deadlines. Just talking, on the other hand, is significantly easier for me. And making PowerPoint presentations has always just been fun for me. Playing with colors, fonts, and special effects make it more creative and artistic which appeals to me more personally.
