Topic For Final Project

I plan on doing my multimodal webtext on one association available to Taekwondo students. It will be the Black Belt Academy. Two concepts to consider important are positive mental attitude and high goal setting. Also I was going to list all the etiquettes that people need to be taken into consideration as a student. It’s the starting point in making them a better future. For my podcast slideshow I was going to do it on the different things that will be encountered in a class like the flags, what patches are on the uniforms, and more.

I had done my podcast on how Taekwondo is a better form of exercise than just regular exercise. The purpose of this podcast was to let people know their is some fun as well as challenge for someone to do with their friends or family. Its better than just doing the same routine over and over again. They always learn something new. I think it is well organized because I talk about what regular exercise offers and then what Taekwondo will offer. I think this topic is well suited for a web reader because it contrasts what regular exercise offers as well as what Taekwondo offers. It’s a topic lots of people have a hard time deciding what to do. They both cost people a monthly fee. But people need to choose something they feel as a exercise that sparks their personal interests. I’m proud of the way it turned out. It would be very resourceful for those contemplating what to do. If I had more time I would have gone more into depth about specific examples. If I had more technical knowledge I would have added music to my podcast. I had a good song to go with it, its called “Eye of the Tiger.” It would get people pumped up. I had little research because I just took from my own personal experience. I could have researched more about what are the popular exercised that they each have to offer.
I should have had put more facts about this topic. Its such a broad topic that there is so much I could have added. I just didn’t have the time to do so. So this podcast could have been great instead of just good. This topic is an important aspect for everyone to consider because exercise is a key to staying healthy.

Podcast Topic

I am doing my podcast on how practicing Taekwondo can improve your health. Here are a couple of things I will be talking about. It helps you mentally, physically, and socially. Well mentally it helps you improve your memory, since you have to remember forms as well as one-steps. As physically its a good form of exercise, stretching, and helps improve circulation. And finally socially you interact with people from around the world. This is just somethings i will be podcasting about.

Reflection Blog on Webtext

The reason I had choose Taekwondo was because I believe it is a great way for people who want a form of self-acceptance as well as respect for yourself. I choose my audience to be anyone from the age of 2 to elderly, because its a great way for a child as well as a adult to become more self-disciplined. I believe its a great way for parents to help their children become more respectful towards there peers as well as adults. The purpose was to inform people that their is a sport out their for the whole family to join in and find to be a fun way for them to learn something new and exciting. I'm proud of how many different things Taekwondo has to offer to be in my webtext, butI feel that I could have added more than what was present. I should have also talked about what you have to do to encounter the next belt level you will accomplished by learning a form, one-steps, sparring, board breaking, and much more at each belt level. Also that there is an way for you to go around to other states and compete in tournaments to feel that you have accomplished something. As well as seeing their are people of all ages and sizes. I could have also added some personal experience into the mix as well as what others thing of the topic. I feel that Taekwondo is a fun sport to do with your family as well as friends because it helps build a form of respect for yourself. Its a good thing I believe for women because of harrasement is a big issue now adays and learning to defend yourself makes you feel slightly more aware of avoiding these types of situations.
