OCW #3 (5/2/25)

I am most proud of myself this semester in regards to the writing assignments because of my determination and willingness to complete them. In the beginning of the semester I was unsure if I would be able to handle the large load of this class while balancing four other heavy classes as well. My ability to stay composed and keep myself organized through even the toughest weeks of the semester really have spoken to my growth and maturity as a student because I do not know that freshman me would have been able to handle it. The assignments became easier as I got more into it and were effectively completed.

OCW #2 (5/2/25)

The part of my writing process that I am most proud of is how much it expanded and how much it has improved since the start of the semester. I have added more steps and more details to each step in order to ensure that the work I am putting out is the very best writing it can be. The adjustments I have made to my revision process have allowed me to analyze my work more times over while looking for specific mistakes each time, which gives me a greater chance of alleviating any potential errors or at least as many as possible.

OCW Post #1 (5/2/25)

What I appreciate most about my learning about web writing is how easily I was able to pick up and understand the things that were being taught to me. The processes and lessons seemed to just resonate with me right from the jump and it made working through each of the assignments easier and smoother than I imagined. It also allowed me to apply the tips and lessons to my own writing style more effectively, because I knew where to place certain information in my own personal process as well, which definitely made for a better overall experience.

Thursday Check-In (5/1/25)

For the final essay assignment, I just wanted to clarify that we are supposed to put the questions on the paper before we answer them correct. I just want to make sure I am following the directions correctly so I do not make a mistake right from the jump.

This isn't my favorite movie of all time but it is one of my favorites and I just recently watched it; Remember the Titans. It is a movie I have grown up watching and it is one of the best if not the best sports movie ever made. I think this movie helped me work through this project because I was able to put myself back into the audience's perspective and view my project from the eyes of a spectator or member of the community. It helped me develop my angry fan posts because I have experienced the emotions that go through a viewer when watching a show or a movie that is interesting to them.

One show that I used to watch as a kid that had me angry when it was cancelled was the Looney Tunes Show. I used to watch Cartoon Network all the time as a kid and always loved watching the Looney Tunes Show. The characters were so nostalgic for me because they reminded me of watch the older versions of the Looney Tunes with my dad, so I felt sort of a connection to the show. It only went two seasons and when they announced they were cancelling it to make room for other spin offs, I was absolutely beside myself. I was so looking forward to a third season and could not believe they were not bringing it back.

Thursday Check-In (4/24/25)

I wouldn't say I have any questions this week but I did want to acknowledge the growth I have seen in myself during this semester, specifically in this class. I feel I have learned much more about how to write and engage on the the web with other people, whether it be to advertise, display, or inform a community. I feel as though my choice in language and how I choose to approach certain subjects with certain groups of people has improved because my level of awareness for situational language has improved. I think this growth will only help me build my communication skills even further as I begin a career.

For the audience, being able to connect with the creators and producers of a show to share their ideas and thoughts is an extremely important aspect to the audience of a show. On social media, the creators and producers may have their personal social media handles displayed on the show's official account, or possibly have an email addressed displayed so that members of the audience are able to contact and reach out to them. A link for a Questions and Answers page may also be added so that community members can connect with the executives of the show.

OCW #2 (4/18/25)

From my experiences on social media pages, I have had many interactions with members of audiences I have been a part of. Some of these experiences include sharing our emotions on how we are feeling about current events within the community we are a part of, as well as engaging in debates with each other when our opinions differ. Sometimes these debates are just friendly banter where it turns into more of a discussion than a debate while other debates can get a bit more heated and intense. Overall, there is a plethora of positive and negative connections between members of audiences.

OCW #1 (4/18/25)

A show detail for my Design Project that is upsetting to my audience due to its cancellation is the fact that the plot of the first season ends on a cliffhanger. I wanted to include this cliffhanger aspect in my project because to me, that is the worst and most frustrating time for a show to be cancelled because you are left wondering what fate lies for the characters you have grown attached to. It forces a person to accept only what their imagination gives them about what happens next in the show, which I have seen arouse a great deal of disappointment for fans.

Thursday Check-In (4/17/25)

As I was working through the Design Project, I came across a part of the assignment that had me a little bit unsure of how to approach it. In the "audience" section of part 1, there is a subsection about culture where it asks me to explain what the audience knows and how they know it. My initial reaction was "they know what happens in the show because they watch the show" however, I know that is not a credible answer. I was wondering if you could elaborate on how exactly I am supposed to approach that section of the assignment?

Another element of my How to Write guide that I wanted to get some feedback on is the background visuals. In the construction of my sample content, I chose to highlight an upcoming event that is taking place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. While the event itself is visualized in the foreground of my post, I wanted to include this background visual displaying an aerial view of the venue as well as downtown Miami and the surrounding area. The question I have is if you stumbled upon the post and saw this background visual, would it contribute to your knowledge and/or perspective of the event being presented?

OCW #3 (4/11/25)

The type of content I am explaining in my How to Write guide revolves around informative news breaking content. I think the use of alerting headlines such as the one I have presented helps to catch the attention of a viewer. It can also serve as an indicating element for members of the community who become accustomed to a creator's style. My question is if you come across a post that has a caption heading like this one, would you be curious or interested enough to explore the contents of the post itself?

[ckrall44]

OCW #2 (4/11/25)

What I learned about content creation that will help me in the future is the importance of establishing a planned structure for the posts. Having an outline for the structure of your post is a great way to ensure that your post is efficiently created as well as keeping a high consistency. It doesn't have to be the same format for every post, but having an idea beforehand will leave a creator less disheveled when attempting to design a new post.

OCW #1 (4/11/25)

One tip that I think is extremely important in creating good content and is sometimes overlooked by content creators is the aspect of background visuals. While in some cases it is the least visible visual element of a post, having a background that is connected to the post can aid in providing additional context. Incorporating a visual element that gives insight into the setting, background, or context of the post can give the reader a new perspective or a better understanding of the content that the post is attempting to display or explain.

Thursday Check-In (4/10/25)

For my How to Write guide revision, I wanted to know if I was efficient in consolidating the information I listed in the proposal for the project into descriptive, yet not dragging sections because on the feedback for my proposal, you had made note of how much information I had listed. I also wanted to ask if the step by step process I used for the content creation aspect of the project is an effective way of guiding my readers through the process, considering I am focusing on one specific type of content.

OCW #3 (4/4/25)

The way I will integrate my created content into my How to Write Guide is by showing each step of the creation process so that my audience can read and visualize my tips for themselves. By showing the process itself and not just a bunch of posts that I have created, I will be able to keep the audience's attention and focus on one aspect of the creation process at a time, instead of just throwing a post at them and hoping that they understand which portion of the post I am addressing. I think this will benefit the audience by familiarizing them with each step and keep the guide organized.
