I know a lot of us, including myself, want something that is going to be enjoyable to read. If a piece is dry and without humor, it is always harder to read. By the end of this post, hopefully you guys will realize the benefit of having humor in your writing.
One of the benefits of using humor in your writing is that it sets you apart from others. Whether you are writing a memo to your co-workers or writing an important document, the use of humor will always help your audience to remember and enjoy your writing. I admit that usually I get really bored with things I have to read and will stop reading half way though the document. I am way more likely to continue reading, if a funny story or joke is included in the piece.
You guys have all heard the quote "if you can make someone laugh you can make them do anything" before. This brings me to another benefit of using humor. A person is more likely to take action on something they read, if it catches their attention by making them laugh.
Michelle, I really like how I can hear your voice in this piece. I would recommend perhaps adding a short intro or a summary of the video before posting. Although for this video that would be difficult. Your post was informative and I enjoy the video and it tied in well with your post. Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteYou made some great points in your post. The introduction was a little short and you could have elaborated just a little more on your ideas. Perhaps by giving a few examples of each. The video at the end gave me a good little laugh! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOverall your post was great, the actual information in your post may have been elaborated a little bit, maybe some statistics (real or not) would've added the extra edge to encourage people, just a thought, but overall very good!
