I will be doing my podcast on insomnia, or at least that is what I am thinking right now. I wanted to talk about the causes because many people think that it only happens when a person has a lot on their mind or when they are stressed. Although stress can be the cause of insomnia, but some people suffer from this sleep disorder even when they are not under a lot of pressure. I also wanted to talk about the effects that it can have on a person suffering from this form of sleep deprivation as well as what the treatment options are. A good friend of mines boyfriend suffers from constant insomnia so I was hoping to interview him for my podcast, and have someone else pretend like they are him. I am open to any suggestions so please feel free to leave a comment because I am not totally set on this topic as my podcast it all depends on the feedback that I receive.

The feedback that I received from both my instructor and Kayla during peer review was very constructive, and I believe that it will be very helpful in the final stages of my webtext. My word count is very high so I don't think that that is a major concern as of right now. The main thing that I need to improve on is the lack of in-text citations within my webtext, so I fill be very focused on that this week. I also need to create a reference page this week. After I posted my draft 3 for review by my instructor I added some links within my text, developed a color scheme, and added some appropriate pictures. All and all I think that I am on the right track with the exception of my lack of in-text citations which I will be working on this week.

My audience would include my fellow classmates as well as my teacher and student teacher, but if I had to estimate I would say that my audience included about 20-25 people.

My fellow classmates would be on the same English level as myself, but my teacher and student teacher will be on a much high level of English comprehention.

Judgeing by the feedback that I got after my presentation on Monday I think that maybe about half of my audience knows a little bit about my topic. The other half of the class I do not think knows very much about my subject.

My audience seemed very interested in my topic, and they seemed to be excited to read my article.

I think that their expectations about my suject are to learn more about some common sleep disorders and what triggers them.

My audience's reason for reading about my topic I would hope would be so that they can gain a better understanding of sleep disorders as well as their devistating effects.

After reading about my subject I am hopeing that my audience will have a better understanding of the nature of sleep disorders, so that they can help loved ones that my struggle with a sleep disorder. Also I am hopeing that my audience will help sleep organizations to find cures or treatment options for those who are effected by a sleep disorder.

The main purpose for writing about this topic is so that average person can be more informed of the dangerous and devistating effects of sleep disorders. Sometimes I think that some disorders such as insomnia are thought of as joke, and I would like to change that. (even if it is only a couple of people that are impacted by my assignment)

I think that by having a strong but down to earth tone, style, and voice will help hold my audiences attention as well as make them what to keep reading until they have finished the entire article.
