Literacy Project Proposal


One thing this school needs to encourage reading is to create an ad campaign that does not just surround encouraging people to read in general. These ads are boring, and nobody is really going to be interested in reading if there is not any actual substance to the ad. I believe an easy way to fix this would be to create a social media account that promotes reading in an interesting way and encourages participation from other people. To do that, I believe the best course of action would be to create an Instagram account that will post daily book suggestions from all types of literature. On top of posts suggested by the account admin, there will also be stories where people can suggest books that they enjoy reading to help spread the word and allow people to hear from their peers, and not just an adult who might like an entirely different type of book. The only difficulty would be getting the word out about the account, but the easiest way to do that would be to have the school post it on their story, allowing those interested in the idea to follow the account and allowing me to capitalize on the already large following that U of D already has.

    Would these book suggestions be anonymous for the students who are too nervous to publicly comment about books?

      If people don't want their name in their recommendation, I can make them anonymous, but otherwise I feel like its better if students know who's suggesting a book

    How will you make sure people share comments about books?

      I was going to have a text box in the story and just look at the answers.

    Would you only use instagram or do you think you will use other social media?

      I was going to go off the suggestions people send in, the post would have a graphic of the cover and in the description I would have a description of the plot and the person's thoughts on the book.

The Little Things

View on Vocaroo >> My name is John Moreno, and I believe in the little things . While most people like to talk about all the big things or trips that they went on, and how rewarding an experience it ended up being, I always find myself finding more meaning in the little things . When I talk about the little things I’m referring to the small experiences along the way, that usually make the big things meaningful. For example, I went to Mackinac Island over the summer. And rather than remembering the big parts of the trip, the things that stuck with me were more common, like finding a place with a cool view of the water to just sit and relax , or even just playing catch on a grassy area right next to the marina. Even when I’m not on vacation, a lot of the memories that I have of the summer also revolve around the little things , like relaxing on the beach, hanging out with friends, and even driving around late at night. My point with all of this is that, to me , w hat ma...

Ted Talk Reflection

Image
       As a yearly wrap-up project for this year’s Contemporary Literature class, Mr. Davidson tasked the whole class to each make a Ted Talk on a topic they believe in or know a lot about. I decided to do “Traditions Are Important” for my topic, mainly because I had recently used my family's tamale making tradition for my Michigan college Essay on communities. However, the process was a lot harder than I initially thought, and I hope that this reflection will help illustrate that journey.   What I Knew   Going into this project, the only tradition that really came to my head when I thought about it was my family’s tamale making tradition . So, there wasn’t much to go off in terms of personal experience, but as I had already started this project, I figured that there was some interesting stuff I could find if I did the research. So, I decided to illustrate my point with my family’s tradition, and then supplement it with a lot of things that pe...
