Transformational Writing Ideas !!!!

For Project #3 Transformational Writing, I truly believe there are many topics and issues that can be addressed. As we had the opportunity to meet in class, one of the topics that seemed to be so interesting was that of different nonprofit organizations in Chicago, that are often overlooked or have little to no promotion or media coverage. The nonprofit organizations we specifically talked about were those that help people trying to recover from substance abuse or maybe even those that help women against domestic violence. I thought these topics were amazing to touch on because it is something that dramatically impacts a large number if not all Chicago communities in one way or another. At the same time very often these helpful organizations don’t get any type of promotion to help their name and issues out there. I think it wouldn’t hurt them to have students promote their organization. With this in mind, I think it would be nice to perhaps do video interviews on personal stories, brochures and fliers that could help them be more known around Chicago. All of these potential ideas I think would largely benefit these great groups, while we make an attempt to frame them in a different view. Based on the group roles we discussed in class, I found it funny that having everyone in a group take on the same role, will take the group nowhere. But rather, we all have to fill up a role, to make this project a successful one. I do admit to being more of a supporter, but if it is needed I am willing to adjust and take on any role necessary to get task completed and on time. I do consider myself more of a supporter, but I believe that throughout time I have been a little bit of all, I just tend to lean more towards being a supporter in any group scenario. I like the idea behind this project because it will be a way to get out our own ideas and actually help frame and aid a local group or organization in Chicago.
