PROJECT Copy then paste “Project” information from my Wiki Home Page over the lines below: I recognize that there is a need for for Springfield Township High School students to increase their awareness of body language and vocality. My project of //Product Development // is to create a video which demonstrates to students in a Psychology class how people use vocality and body language to influence winning an argument because these concepts improve communication skills of students.

My project of //Product Development// was to create a video for Mr.Weidner's psychology class because I saw a need for students to have a better understanding of the nonverbal components in an argument. B.) I am happy with my project because the end product was better than i was expecting. C.) Describe how the execution of one element/aspect of the project (internship, community service, social action, product development) had been a challenge to plan/organize for me. - It was challenging to develop my video because i have not produced a video since freshman year. I had to create a script, and also find people who i could use in the video. D.) Explain why planning/organizing with foresight is an essential element for success as it pertains to this course. -While it may take up time initially, it helps because it make the tasks easier and saves time. E.) Prioritize the skills of listening, reading and speaking in decreasing order of importance as essential elements for my success with this course. Explain why each is ranked in front or behind of the other skills. 1.listening -without listening, i would not understand the instructions that were given to me. 2.reading -reading is important in the course because without it doing research would not be possible. 3.speaking -speaking is important because communicating with my peers and teachers in order to complete my project.
 * I believe I have yet to recieved a response from Mr.Weidner because he has not yet seen the video. Since a response has not yet been rendered by Mr.Weidner, I will characterize the reaction I think I will recieve from Mr. Weidner as a good job because i was able to condense my information on a five minute video.

F.) Identify at least one technology-related skill, understanding or ability I developed/learned/gained during the course. Explain why it is of value to me. - I have learn how to better edit and film videos. It is of value to me because when i film a video in the future i will know what to do and be able to improve upon my mistakes. G.) I wish I would have changed the sounds in my video about my process regarding the project because having music in the video would make it more appealing. H.) I recommend to all future seniors of Senior Seminar that they should begin planning their project the minute that they decide on a topic to make their lives easier and develop an acceptable quality course project.
