First Level Reading
Simple…
Approach simplification as a set list of the most important and focused ideas versus a bundle of thoughts fused together. Vague heading does not communicate a clear message to readers off the bat which is very important. Energy in the header will capture the readers attention so it needs to pack a punch to draw them in.
Unexpected…
The title must convey clear and exciting content to come within the reading material. Hold their attention by teasing their curiosity! Curiosity is human nature which as a content creator you must grasp and hold on tight.
Concrete..
Use descriptive language rather than general terminology. Create the appeal for the readers memory through their mental imagery that you paint with your words. Aim to appeal to all forms of memory so that they will be able to retain it.
Credible..
Reliability can only be proven by others which makes it believable, so it is important to ensure that the information is reliable. “The difference between the smart and wise is that the wise learns from other mistakes”. Meaning most people don’t want to waste time so ensure that information offered are backed by studies or you can refer to credible sources.
Emotional…
Emphasize on emotional appeal for this is the fastest way to attract and hold readers attention. People generally care for others, but they will always take interest for something that appeals to them personally.
Stories…
Chicken noodle soup stories that have anecdotes, jokes and relate-able stories portrays the importance of passing on experiences through a easy to remember format . Stories are effective in appealing to people and to also get the point across in a manner that is easy to understand and to influence readers.


Second Level Reading

To capture the readers mind by using clear titles backed with descriptive language begins the promise of a amazing reading experience. Coupled with credible factual evidence that has an emotional appeal which drives all the points home is the recipe to making the ideas “stick”. Beginning from the start to end it emphasized on the need to be precise meanwhile maintaining the quality of the piece so that it is still appealing to reader on all levels. Intellectually to an emotional level they should be covered in a systematic manner to ensure as to not neglect one for the other. For example, in the New York times writers have a limited amount of space to convey to the reader all the important information with little room. Then also creating unique and relatable headers to attract their attention! A lot of working parts in ensuring that the reader gets the message and retains it is a major undertaking. The purpose of this assignment was to become familiar with the different components that must be put into consideration whilst writing for our audience. The key to this assignment is to be acutely aware of our current weakness’s so that it can be improved so that quality pieces can be posted to our blogs to make it of importance so more of our readers will make it a priority to read along.

    Hi Sofa'i,
    I'm questioning the clarity of your statment"Intellectually to an emotional level they should be covered in a systematic manner to ensure as to not neglect one for the other,". Could you please elaborate further on what you mean?

    Thanks,
    Greg

      Aloha Mr.Walker,
      That statement was very vague! The point of that statement was that as writers their should be emotional appeal to readers in our writing BUT only if it supported by facts so it has credibility. Though there is emotion incorporated, it should be placed systematically throughout so that it contributes to the piece versus drawing attention away from whatever goal the author has planned for their post.

      Thank you (Hope this is sufficient clarification)

    When a standard was well met: Your statement had _precision_ when you said “The title must convey clear and exciting content to come within the reading material. Hold their attention by teasing their curiosity! Curiosity is human nature which as a content creator you must grasp and hold on tight.”

Remixing Content

I understand “remixing content” to mean incorporating images, sayings and music to bring your post alive by using familiar sounds and sights to interest consumers. In other words, each post has a goal of which is no longer limited to expression through just words. In the “remixing culture” we can utilize all resources to appeal to the persons emotions visually also through pictures, memes and audio. An example of “remixing content” would be a commercial for a cable company who not only uses images of TV shows but of different clips that may pronounce the company name to showcase their creative marketing by using familiar faces.The purpose of the assignment is to recognize the strong presence of “remixed content” rotating in the media and its effectiveness. The key question at the heart of the assignment is how are we going to utilize this new-found knowledge to convey our own messages to our desired audience?

Spreading your ideas with Social Media

What is spreading your ideas with social media? This is using different outlets on social networks to convey your idea whether it is through blog posts as we are doing now to YouTube even a Facebook post. It is all circling around the basic principle of sharing content with an audience that either relates to the content or have an interest based on how you created your title and content placement. The World Wide Web is comprised of many ideas yet for spreading our ideas in my opinion we primarily use social media because this is where content creator’s originality continues to show through their ideas unfiltered or influenced by others. What is the purpose of spreading your ideas with social media? This question is up for debate because when sharing our ideas, we each have different purposes as to why we are sharing it. The main purpose in my opinion of why people share is because they enjoy showing their unique ideas. Also, this is a platform that you are judged based off th...

CRAP Detect Untruthful News

These three articles briefly touch on fake news, bias and propaganda fueled news funneled out to the unsuspecting masses. Beginning with the first article by the New York Times , on the influence of reoccurring false content funneled continuously on popular social media platforms that are supposedly generated by a flawed algorithm. The rapid pace of the distribution of false information often times “outruns fact-checkers” in this platform which has resulted in mass production of false news. The focus was primarily on the flaws of social media whilst my second choice reflected on the evident bias displayed in widely known broadcasting stations and their anchors . Lastly, the work of a writer who has become the prime example of the lack of intellectual thinkers/readers we have in society who often fall prey to lies. Just amazes me how he was able to publish a dishonest article that influenced a legislature to propose a bill based solely on lies and not facts. This source however is d...
