In artifact #1, the language used in the article is written.

It is an expository piece from an online

website. It provides information on what good and bad music is like. Included in this article are
bullets listing important parts of what “good” and “bad” music is like. The language is appropriate for
the context because it presents findings in different perspectives of people bringing up what others
think is “good” and “bad” music. People are allowed to express how they feel about “good” and
“bad” music: according to Sarah Bereza. “Good lyrics have generally moral content (and are explicitly
Christian if sacred), while bad ones promote violence and immorality (or are ambiguously Christian if
sacred).”

In artifact #2, the language used in the video is verbal. “What separates the good from the bad this
of course can be rather tricky when looking at something as subjective as art, there’s also a
difference in something I may consider bad and something I dislike for example I’m not a huge fan of
Nirvana and to some of you that might be absolute blasphemy but while I personally may not like the
band I by no means think they are bad”.

In artifact #3, the language used in the article is written. It is an expository piece from an online news
page. It provides information on how music can change the way you feel or act. In this article there
are different topics that the news page delves into. The language is appropriate for the context
because it presents findings in different sources such as how drill music is being seen as attention
seeking crime, and how music can impact our everyday lives: According to CNN, author Nina
Avramova. “Music is present in every part of our lives. Our spiritual rituals are framed with songs,
children learn the alphabet through song and the malls and cafes we visit during our leisure time are
rarely silent.

But just how much can this ever-present thing impact us – and the way we act and feel? Research
suggests music can influence us a lot. It can impact illness, depression, spending, productivity, and
our perception of the world.

Some research has suggested it can increase aggressive thoughts or encourage crime.

Recently, a UK study explored how “drill” music – a genre of rap characterized by threatening lyrics –
might be linked to attention-seeking crime. That’s not new, but the emergence of social media allows
more recording and sharing.

The content of these songs is about gang rivalry, and unlike other genres, the audience might judge
the performer based on whether he will follow through with what he claims in his lyrics, writes the
study’s author, Craig Pinkney, a criminologist, and lecturer at the University College Birmingham, in
the UK.”
Beside music, the paper looks at social media’s role in fueling violence. The online platforms readily
used by many, have given gang rivalries the chance to move online and encourage comments from
supporters and opposing groups, which only adds to the pressure to react.

Paragraph 1 – How have te artefacts helped you to be better?

Paragraph 2 – Hows hass working in a grouphelped you?\

Paragraph 3 -what has the oral presentation process thought you?

How have you improved on your English skills?

The S.B.A process has helped me become a better person because I now realize
how much music affects different people. Each person has their own musical
preferences and I have a better understanding of how music has been affecting
emotions in the lives of teenagers and adults of every generation. Music can elicit
positive or negative feelings, but it is not solely responsible for someone’s actions.
While music can affect a person, their environment (family, friends, community, etc.),
is what is actually responsible for a person’s attitudes and behaviors.

I have also learned that when working in a group, other members can help you to
formulate ideas and understand a variety of opinions on the subject-matter. During
my research, my group’s members helped me to understand the role that music
plays in their lives. This has made me realize and understand that not only is music
important, but I now have personal accounts from my peers about how music affects
them. Using these opinions, I can write my work using relevant supporting details as
evidence for their views.

Due to the oral presentation, I have now come to be relaxed presenting Infront of a
minor audience. My planning and training were key in doing this. I have learned to
conduct the research as well because I went through many challenges to find the
relevant information on my individual topic. I have also become a better writer due to
me becoming familiar with the various rules which govern writing in standard English.
Finally, I acknowledge that the internet’s vast amount of information sometimes, may
not always be relevant to what I am researching, so I have become skilled at
recognizing information which is applicable to my topics of interest.
