Timed Writing

For project three, I explored the crisis in Darfur. I created a blog , wrote letters to Darfur organizations, and wrote a fable having to do with this topic. I wanted to explore the situation in Darfur because it is a crisis that is extremely important, but one that does not receive much attention. My goal was to educate my audience on this topic, and give them ways to get involved if they felt inspired.
I felt that the blog was an excellent way for people to learn about Darfur. I posted my project two research paper on the subject, which gave my readers important background information and statistics on the subject. This was the most useful part of project three, because it gave me an easy way to open people’s eyes to horror that is happening in Darfur. Also posted on the blog were the three letters that I wrote to different Darfur organizations. This was useful because it gave the readers contact information to people who are already involved in the fight and gave a way to get involved if they were inspired to. It also gave them additional sources for information on the subject. I am hoping that at least one person was inspired by my blog and decided to get involved.
The last part of project three was the fable. I thought that this was an excellent way to preach my message to young children without giving them the harsh details of what is going on in Darfur. If my fable inspires just one child, all of the work that went into this project would have been worth it. Who, knows, maybe in the future that one child will be a person who helps stop the violence in Darfur.
The goal of project three was to educate people on the crisis in Darfur. I hope that my blog provided sufficient information on the topic and that it inspired at least one reader to get involved.
