Applying College Level Thinking (13A)


How will I involve college level thinking into my video project, you ask? Well my answer to that is by asking the audience inquiry type questions! I will post questions throughout the video to get them thinking about it and at the end I will discuss what I came up with to answer the questions. It’s important to keep the audience interested, and by presenting questions that make them really think, is a good way catch their attention and keep it.

Some questions I have started to:

-      -If people aren’t motivated to live a healthy lifestyle, what can they do to get themselves motivated and maintain that motivation?

-       -Why do people make excuses?

-       -Why don’t schools try to eliminate the innutritious foods, and supply us with the nutrition we need?

Giving the viewer these questions will get them thinking and then throughout my presentation. Then they will see the main points I bring to their attention and keep that in consideration when I propose the questions again. Providing the audience with research and evidence about food and health will allow them to create ideas and opinions to my questions.

In my media class, we discussed how people come to the conclusion of their own beliefs, and opinions. One of the ways they are persuaded is through evidence. Hard evidence allows people to take their stance on a situation. For example, someone might strongly believe that people are made the way they were meant to be. If women or men have a larger build, one person may think that, that is perfectly normal. While another person may think that person needs a healthier lifestyle. There is a huge difference between being too skinny, fit, and over weight. In my video I hope to provide my audience a better understand of food, exercise, and what a healthy lifestyle is.
