Literacy Project Reflection

My project was to send out tweets concerning reading among teens (boys specifically). I had to tweet things like "Reading is cool" or "Look what reading can do for you" in hopes that teens across the country would see m tweets and try to read some more. I chose twitter because I felt that it would be the best way to get the most people to see my content.

Here are some of the tweets I sent out:








I made my tweets very legible for people of my age younger and older. I made sure that each of my tweets could relate to a bunch of different people no matter what they were looking for. For instance, my first tweet showing the celebrities could influence more people to read since their favorite artists/celebrities are also reading. I had to contemplate wether or not to tweet as many times as I planned to. However, midway through the project I realizes that 14 tweets are too much for me, and too much for the people. I tried to get my tweets at the right times since I am a big twitter user, I know the times that most people are online and managed to get a couple of favorites per tweet which is really good for tweets about books. I am happy with my results however, I feel like I could have gotten more retweets as opposed to favorites so that more people could see my message. I also am very happy with the webpages that I found for my project since they were also pretty easy to read and VERY informative.

Finally, I feel like my project was pretty effective. I like the responses that I got on my tweets at school. However, there were a couple of haters and one in particular told me to "chill" on my tweets. This tweet made me realize that I probably should slow down on the tweets. Here is the infamous tweet:




This took part in the reason that I slowed down on the tweeting. I had to. This is because the whole reason for the tweeting was to reach the people. With the people mad that I was tweeting, I had to cater to their needs. I think I made a good decision because I stopped receiving hate tweets. 

Overall, I think this was a good project that probably helped a bunch of teens to read. I had fun while doing this project because it was something that I liked to do. Also it would help a lot of teens.

    I think your message was good, and the fact that you kinda pissed someone off proves you were going out there and spreading the word. Good job.

    You were really effective in getting people to respond to what you tweeted about even if it was negative feedback. Good job!
