Blog post 4: Describe the topic you plan to use for Project #2 and provide at least 3 texts you are considering using. What key strategic differences or simiarities do you note thus far in your texts? Why do you think these differences and/or similarities exist?
I plan to use the topic of “How to Make Sushi.” This topic appears fun, interesting and educational.
Key similarities and differences among my 3 potential texts are the amount of words, visuals, interactive graphics and videos incorporated to help viewers of varying cooking experience. The first website is extremely visual and interactive. There aren’t a lot of words on the homepage like there are on the second site. The second site is a bit overwhelming and nothing stands out to me; although, there is a video towards the top, which is rather helpful. However, the third text is entirely a video that uses all five modes to help the audience follow along and understand. I believe these similarities and differences exist due to the intended audiences and prove there are a variety of ways to show how to accomplish the task of making sushi. For example, the target audience of the second site might be for more experienced chefs while the other texts appear to inform viewers visually and use larger fonts as a way to explain. Overall though, each text offered new information that can easily contribute to my project.
