Mentor Text: https://www.websitebuilderexpert.com/designing-websites/

  • Who is the audience of that mentor text? Would they also be interested in your project for Unit 3 (they should be!)

The audience of that mentor text are geared toward people in their early teens, late teens, starting adulthood, and in their mid-20’s. They would be interested in my project for Unit 3, however it’s a toss up because the topic I wrote about has to do with impacting the younger generation.

  • Look at the intro of that mentor text– or if it’s something like a website, etc.. look at how the designers got the viewers interested– how do the writers “hook” the readers?  Can you learn anything about how to hook your readers from this text?)

The author hooked the reader by giving a peppy introduction. Carmichael states, “How To Design a Website in 8 Simple Steps Designing your own website. Seems daunting, doesn’t it? Well, fear not. Our guide will show you how anyone can build a website – with just a few pointers!” I can learn anything about hooking my readers from this text because of how passionate the author was to write an article talking about and explaining his 8 steps to creating a website.

  • How are they using formatting or visuals?  Are they using pictures? Headings? Subtitles? Etc… Will this help you in your own formatting?

They are using a pretty standard format by having a title, explain what it is, and using visuals that have to do with that step. This will help me in my own formatting because in the article they talked about Wix which is a great website builder and I am currently using that to make my website on climate change.
