Previously I had done a proposal for this literacy project on following the video theme, however; due to some circumstances that came up I would be unable to film the video properly and put in the time and effort into editing that would make the video what I imagined it to be. In short, if I had done the video it would have been a meek representation of what I had really wanted to do with the video given the various circumstances that had arisen. This is why I would like to change my project from a Video Commercial to a Twitter Campaign.
I have chosen this option for a few reasons. First of all I run a Twitter bot that keeps track of everything that happens in the most popular subreddits on Reddit. Through the use of this bot I have amasses about 750 followers. With follower base I will be able to get the literacy part about this campaign out to the Twitter bot's followers so that they can interact with the tweets.
It is a good way to reach people and students because Twitter is allowed at school so there are always a few people throughout the day that would be on Twitter and would be able to interact with the tweets that are posted.
Starting with Monday (9/14) I will be scheduling 3 tweets everyday at midnight, noon, and 8pm everyday until the project is complete. I will be using TweetDeck to schedule these tweets. These tweets are going around the peak times of the followers where there is the most interaction through out the day.
The tweets will have insight into the benefits of reading there may also be some quotes and points that famous authors have said.
There will be two hash tags for every tweet that is posted. #reading and #literacy. The reason for these two is that these hash tags are summing up what this entire project is about and will easily tag the tweets for future reference at the end of the project.
There may potentially be links to websites and videos pertaining to the topic. It all depends on what exactly I am able to find regarding reading in those types of mediums. There will definitely be pictures of quotes and info graphics that I find that are able to expand what reading and literacy are and the benefits of reading.
These different mediums will be posted so that there are other ways to view the material in a passive way instead of just viewing the material in an active way through reading.
As previously states, the tweets will be posted at midnight, noon, and 8pm starting on Monday (9/14) until the project is over.
FOT @subredditsbot This is an experiment in itself to see if actively posting from a bot account instead of just having the bot post will result in any activity on the tweets that are posted.
APPROVED.
