Quarter 2 PSA Benchmark #THECRUDEISRUDE

Reflection:

For our project we recorded a PSA about  oil trains and the danger they have on the surrounding area. We started out with talking about how the trains could fall off the rails and cause an explosion that has the blast radius of taking out a part of Southwest Philadelphia. We continued on with facts about how the trains also release dangerous fumes into the air. The we finished up by saying how if one of the trains did fall over we have no real plan for evacuation, so we would just be sitting ducks. The reason we chose this topic is because oil trains do go through our state, so this issue is real to us. People we love and care about are being affected by these trains, but no one seems to know about them. We decided that doing research on this topic might share some light with people.   


I mainly helped by trying to be a multiple purpose tool. As I helped during the research,helped record if Obasi wasn’t there. Did some small edits to help Moesha out. I didn’t want to be a burden on my group, so I tried to help out with whatever we were working on at that moment.


Most of the time if my group needed something I tried to be there for them. My time management still needs work. As for checkpoint 2 I didn’t start working on my part of the research until near midnight.I could have also helped Moesha with the script as she did the main part and I just revised my part later on.


For me the most meaningful part was knowing that we are informing the public of knowledge that the generally don’t know. Who knows maybe somebody in a high up position will notice our PSA and try to make bigger change about oil trains. Since at the moment they are a danger to the general public as they release dangerous fumes, and if they explode the blast radius is too large for those near it to escape in time.
