AVA outline

The AVA project is done by me, myself and I. For this project I am sticking to the teaching and students topic, as some of y’all know. It’s going to touch base on the struggles the elementary students have with preparation for the EOC, STAR. I will touch base on how the teachers have to stick to the Common Core to prepare for these state testing. Within this poster I will state a couple different programs and different teaching strategies the tutors and teachers can do to better the learning for the kids. My audience will be for the teachers, tutors and parents.  My poster will be breaking down into different parts. For example; the problem, solutions, references, visuals. My visuals will be a chart, which will show the statics of the students and how the state testing has gotten harder and how these programs can help the kids better their scores. For my references I will have a couple of the same one of my lit review but I will add in some more for the programs. And I will also interview 3rd, 4th, 5th grade teachers from an elementary school here in El Paso. This all combined will give my poster more creditability. 

( For some reason my mac does not want to focus on the outline but this is a basic outline of my poster) the interviews are missing because they will happen this week on Thursday and Friday and i am missing some parts to it. i decided to post this pic so y'all can see what is basically is going to be. 

This gif represents the amount of papers i have between all the research and interviews i have from this assignment. 

hope y'all like it and kinda understand it :)

Advanced Visual Argument Outline

Webpage: I will try to keep my page with limited colors such as blue and green. For my font, I will use black in order to make the text easier to read.  The background will be white and I will not use any music in the web page to maintain the topic serious. The main menu will include 4-5 sections. (Main page, Sequence of Events in Wound Healing, psychological stress, reduce level of stress before/after a surgery is done, Goal/Copy right.) 

Main Page

To capture my audience I will use a clear picture related to wound healing. The picture will be ½ a page. 

Overview: The overview will be included below my picture. Within this section I am going to include some information of my abstract in order to introduce the main idea and some of the topics that are included in the menu. 

Sequence of Events in Wound Healing

I am going to explain very briefly the process of wound healing. In order to make a clear illustration of the process I am going to include an image related to the one below. 

By the same token, I am going to introduce the factors that delay the tissue repair. Since these factors that intervene the wound healing process can be categorized as local and systematic elements, I’m going to use a table to differentiate each factors with its category.

(I am going to use a table similar to this one to differentiate each category.)

Psychological stress

I’m going to put a checklist in order to make the audience see if they present psychological stress before/after a surgery. 

After this I am going to show the evidence/research that was conducted which showed that certain circumstances delay tissue repair

 Different dental students who were either taking exams or on vacations.

Couples with high rates of conflict

Family caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients under elevated stress

Then, I am going to point out that stress can lead to the possibility  of pain, nausea, vomiting and readmission/hospital stay. 

To make my point more credible I am going to include 2 videos. One explains in a more easier way how can stress affects the body. The other one is an interview of a doctors. This video points out that poor emotional health has been reported to have a poorer outcomes and less functional improvements on orthopedic specialties.

Reduce level of stress before and after a surgery is done

Within this section I am going to advocate the idea that patients should undergo through a series of therapies in order to have successful surgical outcome.

I am going to implement different strategies by maybe using videos or images within each one. 

Relaxation techniques 

Music Therapy

Interaction with doctors

Optimistic 

Getting support from counselors, social workers, volunteers or family members. 

Information provision

(Yoga as a relaxation technique.) 

Goal

Within this section I will introduce myself and my goal, which is to emphasize the idea that psychological stress contributes to the delay of tissue repair and that patients should adopt a technique to reduce stress in order to obtain a successful surgical outcome. 

I will include the copy right statement.

AVA Outline

Homepage:

A.    What is the issue?

The issue for my advocacy website is discrimination against African American males within U.S. police departments.

B.     Why is advocacy needed?

1.      Studies have shown that police officers often do not represent then community that they serve.

2.       Discrimination within the police force may carry over into discrimination within the community against African American citizens.

3.      Lately, the media has been full of cases of white police officers reacting with deadly and unnecessary force against African American citizens.

a.       I plan to include a couple videos of police shootings that had been made famous by the media, such as the Philando Castro shooting and the Tamir Rice shooting.

C.     Purpose of Website

1.      Advocate for hiring processes that reach out to African Americans and encourage more African Americans to join the police force.

2.      The purpose of this website is to shed light on the disparity between police demographics and community demographics.

D.    History

1.      When Africans were brought over to America and forced to be slaves, they rebelled, so as a result, slave patrols were set up to search for, whip, or even kill slaves that either ran away or engaged in illegal activities.

2.      African Americans have been heavily policed throughout the history of police systems.

3.      This has been carried over into modern police systems; African Americans are largely underrepresented in criminal justice careers.

E.     Specific Example of Issue

1.      In Ferguson, MO, Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager, was shot and killed by a white officer: later on, the police officer was found not guilty.

2.      In effect of the event, the U.S. Justice Department ordered Ferguson to overhaul its criminal justice system and also evaluate its hiring practices.

3.      Citizens in Ferguson are demanding more proportional representation within their police departments.

About Me Page:

A.    As a Criminal Justice major, I have been interested in this topic and believe that the issue of police reform will come up in my upper division courses.

B.     As an African American, male this topic related to me because of the discrimination within police departments and against African Americans by police.
