Reflection:
Coming into this assignment I thought it was going to go pretty smoothly. However, the most difficult part of this assignment for myself was the character count – specifically because the link to the article took up so many characters. I felt it was nearly impossible to fit all of the layers into the tweet. Introducing the tweet was fairly easy, but I could almost never add in an ending sentence because the link was so long. In all of the tweets I posted, I did not have enough characters to mention or link any other related stories. Finding graphics to attach with the tweet was also difficult just because I can’t really take a video off of the article and post it without having the video myself. The links being so long also made it difficult to place the link somewhere in the middle of the tweet, not the beginning or end as page 241 mentioned.
