For our Unit 3 project Tracy, Allie, and I have decided to discuss the issue of TCU going to the National Championship. All of our articles/evidence will be in support of TCU going to the championship game.
We are going to use 4 different mediums to appeal to different audiences on this subject. I am working on an ESPN article that will appeal to, obviously, all of the sports fans around the world. Lots of people are constantly getting updates on their phones/emails through the ESPN website, which means they're always checking it. It will be a good way to get this argument out to that population.
Tracy is working on a letter to the BCS selection committee. This letter will be talking to the 'higher end' people in the BCS selection process. Hopefully persuading them to consider TCU as a viable candidate. This audience is narrow, but it's still very important to make sure that these important people know how much everyone believes TCU is deserving of a spot in the championship game.
Allie will be working on both a Fan page on Facebook, and a billboard. The Fan page("Support TCUs Drive to the National Championship") is going to be a good way to get the word out to the younger population. Almost everyone ages 25 and under have a Facebook, and if we invite as many friends as possible to this page, it will get noticed. Also, obviously all of our TCU friends will be in support of this, and it will hopefully get them rallied to expanding this argument out. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join this group! The billboard is also something important she is working on. We haven't decided on our favorite picture yet, but we're just going to have a huge(legit) picture from a TCU game, and one or two words on it that will make a statement. Obviously, it has to be short enough so people driving by will be able to get the main idea of the visual. This is a powerful way to appeal to the Fort Worth/Dallas community in support of one of our home teams going to the National Championship.
Overall, things are going great so far, and we're all really excited to keep expanding on this project.
This argument will go over well at TCU because I'm sure every person here agrees with you. The billboard is a good visual argument choice. It would create a stir in Fort Worth and get people talking about your subject.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool that your group not only decided to appeal to local audiences but that also you decided to step out and write a letter to the BCS selection committee. This will really contribute to the sophistication of your presentation.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your group has divided things up really well as far as job responsibilities and everybody is very organized. I am somewhat out of the loop when it comes to this topic so I look forward to hearing the presentation and different genres of argument.
