Teen pregnancy has been a issue in society for decades. Despite widespread sex education given to students, teen pregnancy is still a reoccurring problem. This problem was prevalent in history because many people weren't very cautious and weren't very educated on the topic of pregnancy. Although pregnancy rates for women under the age of 19 have gone down, pregnancy among teenagers is still evident. The reason for this being because many adolescents may not have practiced safe sex and lack of education by the school or their parents. This topic is important to me because many teens and people my age are not aware that there are consequences to not using protection and because being pregnant at such a young age will effect your youth and will make life very difficult at such a young age.
Our news report was a a parody of a Dr. Phil show which stars two of my classmates as pregnant teens. Our skit over exaggerates the lifestyle of a pregnant teen. I believe that our video was an effective way to address teen pregnancy because it shows how people view pregnant teens and it makes the watcher want to avoid this type of situation at all costs. I contributed to this project by helping to set roles and helping to create scripts for each member including myself. I also starred in the video as the mother of my peer, and helped write the group essay. Our group as a whole put in a lot of work as a team, and I believe that our project was well made.
Marta, I really enjoyed your presentation! The use of parody throughout your live presentation essentially created a tense yet humorous environment. It also helped stress the nearly nonexistent foundation to many problems found on shows such as Maury.
ReplyDeleteI loved the allusion to The Maury Show as Melanie was really able to act as she pleased. Oh, how I love hearing Melanie angry. Your short-lived role as the mother surprised me since you were so enthusiastic. Well done, Martatatas.
Hi Marta! I enjoyed your groups presentation a lot. I thought the use of invective was definetley evident , yet remained with a humorous tone and wasnt too filled with complete insults. I loved your live performance as well as the video. You have great acting skills and you played a pretty cool mom! Overall , I loved your groups presentation and your part and role in it !
