**GENIUS HOUR**
MODE- Informational/Research/Personal Experience (Primarily made to educate but also share personal experience). MEDIA- Informational Website AUDIENCE- I aim to appeal to Ms. Murchie and Ms. Branigan as well as those who enjoy fishing and want to hear my story. I also want to inform people who want to learn skills for fishing for common American Fish. My website may also be for people who happen to stumble across it or want something to read about. PURPOSE- I want to provide information on strategies for catching the 3 types of fish I wrote about. I want to also give examples and educate people on places that are good for fishing while backing these up with my personal experiences. SITUATION- Fishing is a huge passion in my life. I find it very important for me to share my passions to others and hope they see how enjoyable it is. I have lots of great personal experiences traveling and I find that this information is very fun to share. It could also prove to be very educational for people interested in going to the places I went to and fishing there.

What did you research and why? I researched fishing strategies for 3 types of fish. Rainbow Trout, Bluegill, and Largemouth Bass were the three kinds of fish that I studied. This topic is interesting to me and many other people. Since I've been to the places I provided information for, I was able to give personal experience and contribute emotionally to the topic as well.

What did you create and why? I created a website that could contain some information but also hold the personal information I contributed. The website has pictures of fish I've caught and places I've been. I made it because it sounded fun and interesting to me. I also thought others would put it to good use when deciding a fish species to target or a place to travel to.
