Here is where I will provide curations for some of the biggest assignments completed throughout the quarter.
Social Media Campaign

It was very exhausting to use social media to communicate for this assignment. There were SO many small things to remember, like including the hashtag, adding an image, making sure the link worked and not going over the character count. I feel that this assignment could have been accomplished much more easily and effectively if we were able to use a social media management tool such as Sprinklr or Sprout Social, which allow you to schedule posts in advance and more quantitatively measure their performance and view analytics. Anyway, here are some of my best X posts from the quarter.
​
People seemed to like this Tweet, and it had over thirty impressions! It shows I was learning how to practice writing multimedia text (images/video and text).
I'm also very proud of the somewhat dramatized wording in this post. It connects with the objective of practicing persuasion and gaining reader engagement.
I don't think people really cared much about this Tweet (at left). It didn't get many impressions and had little to do with people's individual lives. It shows I am still struggling to create conversation between classmates.
SMC Example Tweets
For my SMC project, I decided to post about the International Wolf Center (htttps://wolf.org) and the Humane Society (https://humanesociety.org) , since they both do a lot of work related to wolves. Below are my best Tweets about each of the organizations. I chose the first one because I like how it gives viewers multiple suggestions for ways to support the wolf center, and has a very cute picture. The second Tweet is about the Humane Society, and gives some nice background information. I feel that the emojis make the Tweet more readable and provided a streamlined format for how to structure what I was writing.
Below are my best posts from the campaign about problems. I feel that they used effective wording, that, combined with the innocent-looking pups in the pictures, drove people to feel concerned about wolf conservation.
Below are my two best posts from the campaign about solutions. I thought that the simplicity of a petition was a good place to start in terms of engaging people and demanding solutions to grey wolf trophy hunting, and I think the snappy opener was effective. I myself signed both of them.
Finally, here is my painstakingly-created infographic about wolves. I was trying to communicate the importance of wolves not only as a species deserving of protection, but also as stewards for other animals within the ecosystems they live. Wolves play a really fundamental role in maintaining balanced and diverse populations across prey and plant species, so I made sure to include that as a major point here.
