For this week’s discussion, you will research the Comic-Con International website for information about the annual convention and their communication methods. If you’ve ever been to Comic-Con, think about your own experience attending this highly popular international event. For your discussion post, pretend as though you are a professional blog writer and you need to write a blog post about the event. [You may choose to ignore the COVID crisis and write as if nothing is happening, or you may choose to include this in your messaging. It’s your choice how you wish to deal with COVID.]
You should write this blog post for people who don’t live in San Diego and don’t know much about it. You need to explain what Comic-Con is, without copying information from their website, and what kind of experience an attendee can expect. The audience for your post is for fans, not industry insiders.
In 100 words, how can you concisely communicate this message? Can you make specific recommendations about this event?
You should consult pages 100, 108, 114, 121 in your textbook to create this message.
In your response posts, make suggestions to your classmates on how they can improve their message. Be constructive and helpful. Assist with grammar and syntax, as well as being concise and succinct. Do you have any helpful comments for anything they might have missed?
Expectations:
- Your first response should be a minimum of 100 words.
- You should reply to a minimum of 2 other classmates’ responses with 50 words minimum.
- To earn full credit you need to answer more than “I agree” or “good job.” Your discussion replies may ask a clarifying question, may relate and apply to another situation, or you can probe the question deeper. But it needs to have substance in order for you to earn points.
