Genre Piece

For my Genre piece I am still trying to decide if I want to do a website or an essay. After doing this prezi I've gotten more comfortable with doing things online but I am also a strong writer so I may stick with the essay. I think that the subject of firefighters would be a good/broad thing to write about because of all of the articles and facts that I have found about stress related to their job and how that stress effects their family. Also, I think that making a website would be interesting because I could make it more interactive and be able to visually show what firefighters do while working and what they experience.

Information to Research

During my research I found a lot of information in the library about firefighters and their families. These included PTSD in family members as well as the firefighters themselves. This helped me to distinguish what I really want to go into depth with and how this information will help me put together my prezi. I think that people who are looking into becoming a firefighter as well as individuals who have firefighters in their families would be interested in research like this. I think that for this project I need to keep digging deeper and find connections that will help to put all of my research together.
