SOCIAL MEDIA

Social Media: In the previous lesson we discussed "The Language of Social Media," We examined Twitter and looked at the history of texting, and how Twitter has become a social media phenomenon. We examined terminology and social acronyms commonly used, and how they play an important role in the language of texting. 
We discussed the 2 categories of media framing; generic and issue-specific, which refer
to the sense-making, and interpretive packages journalists use to contextualize events by manipulating metaphors, catchphrases and images in order to prioritize events or others.
Following this introduction we will view a video "KONY 2012: The Invisible Children," which provides an example of how social media has gained leverage in a campaign to create change. This video is meant to be thought provoking, examining both the complexity and simplicity of social media.   

Objectives
  • Describe the different types of language, including acronyms and symbols in social media
  • Create a Twitter account and post 5 headline tweets using 140 characters or less
  • Follow at least 3 students and provide a screenshot of your posts.
  • Demonstrate creative and critical thinking skills and engage in dialogue on a Facebook account discussing the subliminal power of words and why short concise headlines of 140 characters or less are a more effective way of gaining attention.
