How Very Refined

It's Becky! I think working on the pitch helped me structure my topic. I was already very confident about talking about subject vs. object pronouns, but having to put it into a pitch forced me to articulate what exactly about subject and object pronouns I meant to say.

The pitch also energized me, in a way. I mean, I was already passionate about my topic, but the adrenaline of performing the pitch in front of my tutorial group made me really excited, taking the project to a new level for me.

Although I suspect that I would soon grow irritable if forced to stage a pitch for every class writing assignment, I can see how it could help in some cases-- say, for essays in which we can choose any topic. In such a case, the pitch would enable me to make sure my essay topic is actually something I can write an essay on.

Distilled and refined, my podcast is going to "demystify" subject and object pronouns: I will talk about what they are and why we have them, before moving on to explain how to use them and what the differences between them are.
