Content Proposal Reflection This Content Proposal Wordle is an accurate depiction of my thesis-related research and accompanying media project. Prioritizing both verbally and visually, my thoughts, ideas, theoretical frameworks associated with this research study are complimentarily manifested within the body of this Wordle. As regards the stylistic appearance of my targeted research group found within this word stream, it is interesting to note that the rudimentary bullet points are all horizontally represented: online instructional virtual narrative [for] African-American male students.

The words that leap out from the Wordle are lab, virtual, authentic, learning, students, project and design. My thesis was about providing students with an authentic lab experience virtually via their computer. An experience that allows students to solve problems like a scientist would in a research laboratory by both designing and carrying out their experiments and explorations. Other words that have emphasis are simulations, demonstration, experience, equipment, apparatus, online, and real which captures the focus on the juxtaposition of simulation on reality and the ability for students to experience a real lab one step removed as an active participant.
