Blog 7 "Essay 4 Reflection"

The Woodstock Festival came to be my topic for my Midterm paper and PowerPoint presentation. I started by going to the Wikipedia website to lay out a basic foundation for my research which then led me to other reliable sources. I then checked on Google and other sources that were linked on Wikipedia and i was definitely able to find a good amount of reliable sources. I found a magazine article from The Rolling Stones magazine and other websites. I was also able to find the documentary from the History Channel "Woodstock: Now and Then" which actually gave me a great amount of info concerning every angle of the event. I also used the article finder in the library website of LaGuardia where i found a tremendous amount of articles giving information on almost all of the major if not all the major issues surrounding the event. I put an extreme amount of attention into my writing also be cause i believe heavily in good delivery of a message or statement. If it sounds intellectual it will also add to the reliability of my information and argument. If i had to rate my effort on this from a 1-10 i think that it would be between a 8 or a 9. I think so because i put many hours into the development of my paper making sure that it complied with the MLA format. Also, i put in a lot of hours into the detail of my PowerPoint presentation to make sure that it look good but more importantly that i was able to effectively provide sufficient information without diluting the facts. I think that my final product is a 9 because i believe that I gave more than enough information to back up the iconic importance of Woodstock in the influence of Mass Media. Honestly though, this has definitely been a difficult molding process because this is actually the first research paper and PowerPoint presentation that i have ever done. My hope is that i was able to deliver effectively and efficiently and that i was able to answer the core thesis of the midterm assignment.
