Revising my work will help me foster deeper learning and facilitate meaningful thinking about how my work in CODES may influence work I do in the future. How I will revise my work for this semester and upcoming final project. I will use the given age group and broaden it by people a bit younger than 18. This will help the younger gain important personal, educational, and professional benefits from engaging in water conversation. This helps them develop leadership skills, building environmental responsibility, and gaining practical knowledge. It helps them as agents of change, promote sustainable habits, and connects them to career pathways in environmental fields.
With this information, it helps me broaden my goal of this project. Which is to use a promotional content based video to engage young adults in water conservation. This will help me use an younger audience by shaping new habits. I can use how younger teens use social media and include that informational knowledge in it as well. The message also travels faster this way. Habits are still forming, environmental identity is still flexible, and during this process conservation can become “normal”, not “extra effort”. This can also become an long term impact if introduced early to targeted age group.
During this revision, I had to think about identity and impact rather than responsibility. We have to make sure that the audience doesn’t think of conservation as a “task” or a “chore” that they have to do. Rather than looking at it as a personality trait. That’s where including identity falls in place and there’s still connection. How this will impact my revision will help me gain more information needed on how to get young adults engaged and why they do not know much about it. This also helps me create the content based video that I need to prove this will be accurate and that it will be impactful for not only I, but the intended audience and the message I’m trying to put out.
