I helped make the home page for the website. I also helped make the slides for the checkpoints, the final poster, and report. This included refining the language that was used in each of slides (to be a concise as possible). My primary contribution on the report was plain language, disability justice, and positive dsiability sections.
I feel really good about my contributions! I really feel like my additions and changes were respected, even if other people decided to edit them again and build off of them. I also felt like my group members carried their weight and were equally supporting in the creation of everything.
I helped make the slides to be accessible during our checkpoints. This included making sure the slides didn't have too much information. For the website, I made sure that the theme was not too busy, and that the For the poster, I made sure that the z-order made sense.
I personally did not do any image description for the final report.
I did help with the plain language.
The main plain language principles you should take into account are short sentences, limited vocab, transition words, and present tense.
I helped make sure the writing read better. This involved editing the connections of the evidence to the principles themselves. I especially helped make the connection to anti-capitalist politics stronger and clearer. I also made sure we used examples in the analysis that made sense.
I also helped tighten up the writing for this section. The links between the principles and what was sometimes shakey and it was unclear what polistive disability principal was talked about. I make sure that that was clear to our audience. We also wrote a bit too much in the section, so I helped trim it down, while making sure the examples we provided were sharp.
I did not use GAI while creating the report or any other aspect of the final project. My group and I wrote everything by ourselves, without need for GAI.
