Week 10; Prompt 1

To help my listeners and readers better understand my topic, I plan on designing a slideshow to illustrate what both the proprioceptive and vestibular systems are and how they function. I hope that by providing my reader with a more in-depth background on what these systems are, they will be able to understand how deviations in the system affect daily functioning.

The main point that I will develop in the slideshow is the location of the proprioceptive and vestibular systems in our bodies along with their main functions. This may sound a lot like the first Roman numeral in my Webtext titled “What Systems Are We Talking About?” but I plan on providing the listener/reader with a more descriptive overview of the systems that they wouldn’t otherwise get by just reading the Webtext. I will do this by providing pictures of the different components of both systems and where they are located in the body. Along with their location, I will explain what their functions are in the body by providing pictures of various activities that require us to use these systems.

This topic is well-suited for my Webtext because it will provide my readers with an illustration of these systems to help them better visualize how their bodies perform specific activities. The terms “proprioceptive” and “vestibular” are new to most people and the majority of my readers may not have any background information on these systems. By showing pictures while describing them, I hope that the readers/listeners are able to further comprehend sensory processing disorder and the affects of the disorder when the body fails to function normally.
