My remix will consist of two things. I will have pictures on Anti- Asian hate and in the middle there is going to be the word UNITED. The second thing will be a world art. It is a shape of a globe and will consist of words in the globe involving the coronavirus and Asian communities. I decided to do a globe since the coronavirus all around the world and everyone is being affected by this.

I decided to choose this picture because it is a nice feeling to be able to wake up early in the morning and see the sun rising. I feel like during these difficult times it’s worth paying attention to the things that are around us and see how wonderful it is. It makes me look forward into the future when all of this is over and to be able to walk around knowing that there isn’t any virus going around. To be able to go to the park and spend my day playing volleyball with my family and friends. There is a lot of negative things happening in the world so its best that we don’t pay all of our attention to the negative and to look at positive as much as we can. It can gives us a sense of hope and happiness.

My creative remix idea

Knowing that my research is about the impact of coronavirus and the impact of the situation that we are living in these days on young adults; I wanted to do a cartoon or a drawing that reflects the situation that we are living in and try to show some of the feelings that some people have.

Timeline

For my creative remix idea I want to do a timeline. However, I don’t want to do a simple timeline I want to include pictures and make it a little interesting. I chose a timeline because my topic includes dates that are relevant and important.

My creative Re-mix idea is making podcast. I want to have like a podcast with two other of my friend where we discussed the impacted. I want to talk about how different our lives quickly turned into. As two first year freshman college student and having to make that transition. Also how it is like for our parents who have their own business or had to stop working because of the COVID 19.  As well how is it working form home specially if it the start of your working career.

(more…)

For my creative Re-mix idea, I will be doing visual art piece. So basically a drawing showing how distance learning  has been working out so far and the issues mentioned in my Analytical Research paper. The difference between students and how they are handling according to what I have heard and been told from my friends who are in Highschool or have siblings in K-12. Also, I will include experiences of my own since the remote learning started.

Knowing that my research paper is about the impact COVID-19 has on low income families I want to show my community. I can say that I live in a low income area and I think this assignment would be a great opportunity to show that. My idea is that I am going to make a slide presentation with bunch a pictures from my neighborhood and describing how has COVID-19 effected my area.

In case you are still struggling to figure out how to format your Works Cited page and how to include in-text citations, I am linking here to a resource from the University of North Carolina that provides very clear guidance.  You may want to look here for examples and instructions about following MLA 8th Edition guidelines.

How to Format a Works Cited Page

How to Include In-Text Citations

If you still have questions about any of this, please feel free to reach out to me.  Remember that every time that you include information, ideas, or quotations that you encountered in one of your sources in the body of your paper, you need to include a parenthetical citation that tells the reader where the material came from.   This could be the name of the author with the page number of the source (if applicable), just the name of the author, or (in cases where there is no author) the title of the article.  Failure to cite your sources is a serious academic offense, so when in doubt, CITE YOUR SOURCE.
