Literacy Project reflection

 Literacy Project Reflection

My project was social media posts. I posted three times and used Instagram as my platform. I had a link to an article in my bio and also a link to a video about reading there. I wanted to spread facts about reading and help support people to read. I used a handful of different messages to get my point across. My captions held more information about reading, just in case a follower was curious and the post did not satisfy them.

    My first post was used to spread the idea that reading is masculine. I created an eye-catching post with a short and to-the-point message. I used my #Readers&Leaders in the post, so I could get my hashtag out there. I wanted to start by getting a male audience because they read less than women. My second post got the most activity on it. I posted a short reel with a funny sound behind it, promoting reading. I used a short quote about reading because I believe that it would be the most engaging. I got a lot of activity on this post and I believe that it was because it was more of a funny sound to it. For my last post, it did not get nearly as much activity, but the post was similar. Instead of trying to make it a funny post, I used a trending sound behind my post. I used a cool format on the post reminding people to read and just encouraging them to pick up a book. I also used my hashtag again in the caption of this post, spreading it more. 

    All my posts have small captions further explaining my posts and the messages behind them. I responded to a few comments asking questions too. I decided to stick with short reels because I believe they are the most engaging with my audience. I got a comment or two picking fun at my posts, but I chose to ignore them. The first article in my bio is about the benefits of reading. I believe that knowing how it is beneficial helps people to do it. It will encourage them to improve themselves through reading. The second link in my bio is to a video about how to start reading if you hate it. I think that is a very relevant video, especially to my audience. It shows that there are ways around a hate for reading, and you can turn it into a love.

    The end product is not exactly what I had hoped for, but it is pretty realistic. My account was never going to blow up, but it did get a lot of activity through reposts and shares. I believe my project was sort of a success. I was able to get views and cater to my audience pretty well, which is surprising. I found that posting reels with a funny sound behind them got the most attention. A major problem I faced was when I first created the account. I really had no way to get the account out there. So, I shared the account with a few of my friends and proceeded to follow a ton of people. Then, the followers started to come in. I believe that my project served its purpose. It got my message across clearly and got a decent amount of activity. I think a lot of people view the account as a joke, but views are views. The more activity I get on my posts the more people will see it. I don't think it matters that a few people are not taking it seriously, because they are still helping promote the account by boosting its comments and likes. Over time its effectiveness will definitely decrease. I will not be able to consistently post, therefore leaving the account to die over time. It will just be a hassle to keep the account up and running forever. I believe that the account did its job and has already served its purpose. I did a good job promoting reading to others and believe my social media campaign was the best way to do it.

Infographic Debate

Image
Description Marijuana shouldn't be legalized because of its dangers to young teens. Legalizing it makes it seem safe or healthy to do and it draws teens in. I used facts and statistics from valid sources to help prove my side of the argument. I also used charts to make the information easier to gather. I argue that marijuana should not be legalized, due to all of the downsides I state in the infographic. Reflection  I picked this topic because I believe that it is one of those arguments that is so easy to pick a side and just use facts that defend your point without listening to a counter-argument. I portrayed my argument in a few charts and quick short facts. I believe that it makes my infographic easy to read and gather information from.  It is not a side I personally believe in. It made researching a little bit more challenging because I did not believe the side I was arguing for. The researching was easier when I could just ignore any counter-arguments to my main points. I...

Course Reflection

Contemporary Literature Course Reflection  I signed up for this course because I thought it would be a blowoff class. This class far exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed this class because it forced me to read books and I actually enjoyed reading. The book choices were so fun.      My favorite novel that we read in class this semester was "The Art of Racing in The Rain". I really enjoyed the realistic problems that Denny was thrown into and the idea of the dog being the narrator. I really enjoyed most novels we read in class but this one was definitely my favorite.     My favorite project was the This I Believe. I really enjoyed getting to explain how I feel and what I believe in. I enjoyed being able to use personal experiences to discuss why I feel a certain way about something. Reading it into the computer was kind of fun to do too.     I think that students should take this course to rekindle their love for reading. I hated reading before I too...
