What topic have you settled on, and why? I have decided to do my project on Ellen DeGeneres. I think it will be fun to learn more about her and inspiring to learn about all she has done for the world. It will be a challenge to make a project on Ellen DeGeneres with the goal of teaching those that are judgmental and close-minded, but I look forward to the challenge.

For what audience(s) and purpose(s) might you design this project? I think I want to direct this project to those in the anti-gay community, those that discriminate against those that are different from the 'norm'. The purpose is to make those that see my project more open minded and willing to accept differences.

What sources might you draw on? I will use interviews with Ellen, her television shows, books, stand up comedy, books/stories/newscasts about Ellen, and internet sites.

What genres might you use to represent your work? I will use biography, interview, advertisement, timeline, monologue, photograph with description, photo album or collage, and memories
