Writing A Blog Post
Cover Letter Assignment #5 My medium of choice, a blog, works well with my specific. The message in my blog is to talk about move in day and what obstacles I faced. My purpose was simply for entertainment use and maybe a little informational on how move in day worked for me. The blog really made the entertainment aspect very effective because usually a blog is read for entertainment and to read about interesting stories. Also, the blog allowed me to add pictures and recall the past event as I saw it. Also using a blog makes it much easier to describe the emotions that were going through my head at the time. Writing an essay would be too formal and quite boring to read. A song would be enjoyable to listen to but the same meaning and emotions would not be conveyed properly. As for a podcast, I personally feel most podcasts are quite boring. And finally, since my blog takes place in the past, a video would be very hard to represent the same meaning.
Choosing a blog also helped convey the message to the audience for many reasons. For one, it entertains the reader rather than just a block of boring text. And the goal of the blog was to entertain the reader from the start. Also, the blog allows for the reader to feel and understand how I, the writer, was feeling during move in day. On top of allowing the readers to understand my emotions, adding pictures and a “fun” background will attract more readers. Rather than just a plain white background with a body of text, a block is more colorful and has more pictures as well. This helps keep the readers entertained and interested in the blogs. The shorter blocks of text in a blog also urge more readers to read the block. Usually when a reader sees a larger word document they may be reluctant to read it, but a blog is more attractive to readers. Also, when the reader goes through and reads a blog, which will determine if the reader will go on and read the rest of the blogs. The ultimate message would be to entertain the

    In this literacy narrative, Blogs Are Not Pseudo-Diaries by Stacy Yi, Stacy talks about her experiences writing about her time spent in the Dominican Republic the summer after she graduated high school. The thesis statement of this narrative is “Far more interesting, though, was my hands-on education in the possibilities of travel journalism, and the freedom that comes with disregarding expectations.” Stacy talks about how there were lots of people who wanted to be kept up to date with her experiences while she was in the Dominican so she set up a blog where she could easily do so. At first she wrote mainly about how she was enjoying her time, posted some pictures, and wrote about missing home, the things she thought she should be writing about. Things she thought people wanted to read about. Stacy began to grow bored with what she was writing and the views on her posts were dwindling, she could tell her readers were becoming bored as well. Soon she stopped posting all together, she thought it was pointless. One day, she had a conversation with the oldest daughter of her host family and she knew she wanted to write about her and Stacy decided to post it. She started posting about local soccer games, restaurant reviews, disagreements she had with members of the family, things she really liked to write about. She felt better about the things she was writing, she felt satisfied. Stacy felt that writing day to day posts would provide a lot of information but not capture the feel of her trip to the Dominican. She felt that to make a good record of her trip she needed to write about things were relevant to her trip and in ways that fir the experiences she had.…

    During this class I have made two self- discoveries that will positively impact my career goals. Those self- discoveries has helped to mold, and shape me into a student that I have never thought I would be. Those discoveries were that I am an organized learner, because I made a study plan to help me determine when, and how I would study. Being that I have five children, I had to make sure that I had set a schedule so that my course work including study time would not affect my family time and take away from spending time with my children and fiance`. Since these are the competing priorities in my life right now learning to obtain trust and consistency in the home while I have been attending school has also improved because not only do I see my success so does my children and fiancé. Knowing that I had that support also has made it possible to do my best in school, setting the pace for them to do the same in school also, whether it be good grades, sports, etc. I know that they will continue to be good at what they do and have proven to do so time after time.…
