I want to create a presentation for my unit 3 project targeted towards juniors and seniors in college that are making their way into the workplace. I choose a presentation as the genre because I think it is a great way to get the audience, especially young adults, to pay attention to the topic. By adding graphs and images in my presentation I hope to engage with the younger audience, making the topic more exciting and interesting to learn about. This presentation will be based on and conclude research from my unit 2 research portfolio which focused on perspective and empathy in relation to diversity and inclusion. The presentation will touch on that topic and how important it is to think of other’s perspectives and to have empathy towards people and their situations. It will also connect to how they can leave college and go into the workplace with an inclusive attitude that will help support a diverse environment. Think of it as diversity training before going into the workplace, so they can enter expecting to be in a culture that is inclusive. As more and more young people enter the workplace I find it important to have them shape the environment, this presentation would teach them that even though they will be new, their attitudes can rub off on those who have been working at a company and help open people up to new views.
Writing and organizational cultures
Think about what kinds of platforms/technology tools you think would be effective for this type of presentation, and what the situation would look like. Are you imagining a live speaker addressing a room full of people (ah, remember when we used to do that?….)? Or are you thinking of something like a video that people would consume alone (i.e. on their computer or phone screen, by themselves)? Those rather different situations would call for rather different kinds of texts. You get to imagine the scenario, to paint the picture of how this will work.
