For my unit 3 proposal, I want to teach my audience about the significant effects of marijuana and what it does to the body. I was surprised to learn that marijuana has more negative effects than positive even though it is used as a medical drug. The audience that I’m trying to reach is adolescents and adults who already smoke marijuana to inform them about the dangers they probably don’t know about. My goal is to inform the audience about the effects of marijuana so I would write an informative genre. How I intend to get started is by starting to do my cover for my comic. This comic will be about the effects of marijuana and its dangers of it. I feel like showing pictures and drawings of this issue will better resonate with the reader by giving them another perspective in of just them reading about it. The only thing I’m worried about is how the drawings will come out because I haven’t drawn in a very long time.

Hey Sam, your Unit 3 proposal is very interesting! I agree with the audience you are trying to reach, a majority of marijuana users are young people. An informative genre is a way to go with this because of what you are trying to show the audience. As you stated a comic would be cool to show the effects and dangers of marijuana but you can also include the positives. There are a lot of cons but there are some pros. However, since the audience you are trying to target is adolescents and adults, a video would be a good idea. The video can be a few minutes long, then it can branch into what marijuana is, what the drug is supposed to help with, and finishing off with the pros and cons. You could use a platform like TikTok or Instagram to show the video. TikTok is a very popular platform for young people at this time.
