Killers mystery

Citizenship project

This episode was the fastest to finish because it was the last one and I already had a lot of experience making new podcasts. Room of death was the episode that I had the most fun making as I was less stressed out about the different features the app had and I was able to do it exactly how I envisioned it.

This episode used a lot of rhetorical knowledge. When I was making the podcast I wanted to incorporate all the different quotes and evidence from the case in order to make it more interesting and easy to understand. I had to change my voice a lot and act like a male in some statements which was challenging at times.

Being able to use different voices required a lot of critical reading as I had to find our and know exactly who the person is. This helped me and the audience to better understand who the character is.

This episode was titled Who did it. It was about a little family with a daughter that went missing one day and then was found dead in the basement of their own house. The challenge for this episode was to be able to put all the puzzle pieces together as there were a lot of different suspects.

Theis episode required a lot of critical reading and gathering of information. The information for this episode provided detail about a lot of different suspects. With that I had to research every single person separately and build each one of their suspect cases without mixing up the people.

This is when critical reflection came into play as there were a lot of different challenges that came with finding different suspects and their background. Another challenging piese was to be able to organize it into a way that would make it easy for the audience to understand and follow along.

Episode holywood murder was one of the most traumatic ones. It was very difficult to tell the story in detail and with all the graphics. As it was very crucial to have all the details of the murders in this episode so that the audience would imagine the crimes.

Doing research for this episode required a lot of critical readings. A lot of research, note taking and developing a story. A lot of articles that were based on these murders were different and had different valuable information. Therefore I really had to dig deep and sort out what is relevant and what is not in each one of them. And after putting all the puzzle pieces together.

This episode required a lot of organization. With all the detail and information I provided in this episode. I had to really sort out and place everything in chronological order so that it makes sense for others. I believe that this episode really helped me with my organization skills.

The 3rd episode was the mystery ride. The struggle for this episode was to be able to form a story in chronological order. As this crime still has not been solved. When I was doing research there was a lot of information from the past but also a lot was recent. So I had to make sure everything made sense and was in the right order.

The outcome for this episode was the critical thinking. Digging up all the information for this case and making charts really made me think. I had to do a lot of research and evaluation in order to make sure that no critical piece of information was missing, or the case would be hard to understand. And the hardest part was to put it all together in an order that would make sense for others. As this episode was based on chronological order of events with a lot of dates and detailed information about the case.

Another outcome was the composing process. I had to make charts and diagrams to make sure all the information flew from one day to the next without missing any detail. I think this really helped me in learning the best and most accurate ways to organize information for the best outcome.

This episode was about a young boy that was found dead in a box. It's been many years and the police haven't solved the case or found the murder. This episode was the second one I made therefore I was already more familiar with the anchor app and how the creating podcast process goes.

The critical thinking connects most with this episode. It required a lot of understanding of the case, a lot of thinking and unloading of information. As this case hasn't been solved it made it more important to come up with my own theories and solve the case for myself.

I believe the fact that this case has not been solved also brought in  Rhetorical knowledge. It made the audience build their own story and solve the case. I had to choose a lot of different ways of how I make the episode, and what evidence I provide to allow the reader to come up with their conclusion.

This episode, which goes through their head, was possibly the most challenging one of them all. As it was my first episode and I had to figure out a lot of what works and what doesn't. Trial and error definitely was the way to go. After a few tries each episode became easier and easier to make.

The main thing that I focused on that week's episode would have to be rhetorical knowledge. As I really had to adapt to a new technology new app. I had to figure out a way for my episodes to be engaging and entertaining to the audience without actually being able to communicate with them there and then. It came with not only using different questions but also a large background knowledge for each episode.

Engaging the audience was not the only challenging part. Filming episodes is almost like acting. Especially when I had to incorporate different voices and tones to quote someone. This really made me get out of my comfort zone and widen my knowledge. This required really detailed research of each character in the story, so that the voices could be spot on.
