Final Presentation

I decided that I am going to make a poster for my final presentation. My audience is the people that live in Oklahoma City just like my essay. I am going to keep it pretty simple and just have a saying for voting for the tax. I will probably place a picture of the arena that the vote is for. It is going to be a simple sign because the billboards and signs in the city were simple. I do not believe there needs to be a lot on the poster from this topic. The poster is just reminding people of the day of the vote and why they should vote yes. I will probably incorporate the NBA team as well. There were signs like this all across the city before the day of the voting. It was easy for me to decide on making this a poster like a billboard. It was not a hard process from changing this from an academic setting to a visual aid.

Argument Essay

For my last essay I have decided to argue a topic from my home town Oklahoma City. After hurricane Katrina the NBA basketball team the New Orleans Hornets played two seasons in OKC. It was a great success and we had some of the best attendance across the nation. But once New Orleans felt they were ready to have their basketball team back they left and went back to New Orleans this past season. After they left a lot of Oklahomans felt that we deserved a professional team. A group of business men bought the Seattle Supersonics. They have been trying to get them to come here this past year. One of the main problems was our arena was not up to par to furnish an NBA team for many years. This is when the city decided to put a tax to voting to refurnish our arena. It did pass but their were people that did not agree with it and believed we should of not passed this tax. My argument is that these people are wrong and a professional basketball team would do great things for Oklahoma City.
