Blog 7 #2 Model Text/ Recipe

Model Text #2 Poster about saying no to drugs
1.     The modes my model text has are; text, color, images, and design.
2.     Audience
·      My model text is mainly addressing from ages 14-25 who speak English. I think that it is addressing these ages by the images they chose to use and the text being in English.
·      The Author does not use pronouns at all in the text. He/she uses the implied pronoun “you”.
·      The author constructs the relationship between the audience by the images she chose to use. The images in the poster are not the auctual drug photos but drawling of the drugs.
·      The phrase that stands out to me is “ Just Say NO”!
3.     Authorial Identity
·      The author constructs his/her identity in relationship to the reader by indicating that drugs are very harmful and can hurt more theyn just yourself.
·      No the author does not use “I” or “me”. I think that the reason for this is not to focus on the author and focus specifically on the reader.
4.     Purpose
·      The purpose of the author in writing is to stray teenager and young adults away from using drugs. I believe the author is hoping to accomplish the abashment of drug use.  The author wants the readers to think twice about using drugs and understand the consequences if they were to use them.
·      There is only one sentence on this model text. I think that the indication is the red “x” that crosses through the drugs.
·      The main purpose of this model text is to show their audience that drugs are harmful and dangerous.
5.     The author uses both outside research and secondary sources in this text by the negative facts/ side effects of drug use.
6.     Organization
·      The author organizes the text by having words surrounding the images.
·      The author uses very basic easy to read words to get the statement across.
7.     Genres
·      I would name the genre of this text by seeing the easy to read words and the power behind the words. The genre is then to be to teenagers-25 year olds because that’s when you are mostly surrounded by drugs or get hooked on them.
·      The conventions of this genre are the side effects of using drugs and the how they are not only harmful to you but also others.
8.     Images
·      The author uses still images that are drawing.
·      The work these images are doing are showing the reader that drugs are not good and that you need to say no to drugs.
·      The images are drawing.
·      The author is doing this to reach out to younger kids.
·      The images work with the text by supporting the text saying say no to drugs.
10. Document Design and Layout
·      They chose a easy to read font in order for people to read it very easily.
·      They made the text very large and bold. I think they did this so that they could really emphasize the point they were trying to make.
·      The text is laid out wrapped around the images.
·      The text uses the color red. I think they use this because red can symbolize death and drug use can often lead to death.
·      The text uses its images to make a strong powerful point.
