Week 6

Alicia and I are making a documentary about Postpartum Depression and the traumatic effects of childbirth and how it affects the black mothers in our community. We made a website about it that hasn’t been published to the community yet, but soon it will be. First on Monday we had to pick our teams. On Tuesday we have to figure out our topic and the research that we need to do for the documentary. On Wednesday we have to start on the website for our topic that we were doing research on. On Thursday we have to somewhat complete the website and learn how to use an app called “wevideo“. On Monday, we had to choose our groups and make a documentary on a problem or anything that affects our community by using S.T.E.M or S.T.E.A.M which is using science, technology, engineering, math, or using art which makes it S.T.E.A.M. I wanted to do something dealing with trauma or dealing with childbirth because I want to be a trauma nurse or be a obstetrician which is delivering babies. Alicia wanted to do something that dealt with art because art deals with art,dance,music anything considered as art. We decided that since I want to do something that deals with childbirth or trauma and she wants to do something with art that we would combined the topics together and get one huge topic. Our topic is Dealing with Postpartum Depression and using art therapy to cope with the postpartum depression. On Tuesday, we had to do research on our topic using google scholar. That didn’t really work well with me because I couldn’t find the certain thing I was looking for without having to pay for anything. So I had to use Google to find my 5 websites because we had to find 10 per group. Since we have 2 different topics combined into one group we decided to split up the work and find 5 websites dealing with each topic. I wasn’t here Wednesday, but I learned today that we started on our website and Alicia did a very nice job starting it by herself on her part because she didn’t know any information on my side of the topic. But overall the website looked great.So when I came back on Thursday I helped with the website and conduct interviews. I did more research about the topic and put it on to the website and make revisions to make the website look better and more professional.
