2. The authors display being casual by dropping little jokes here and there and acting as if they were actually talking directly to the reader. Hyperlinking is used to basically replace a bibliography and have the links be their in-text citations. This allows the authors to save space and the reader's time by not going into great depth with the details and instead allowing their readers to read more only if they choose to. Images create breaks in the text, and aiding into not overwhelming the reader. They also make it more pleasing to the eye. Subheadings are like a quick view into what you'd be reading about, which also give the reader the choice of whether or not they want to know about that.
3. The purpose of these is to be informative, easy to read, and give more sources to the readers if they want to learn more about the topic.
4. The audience seems to be the general public as these include basic, but sufficient information about multiple different topics.
5. Quick reference guides use images to give the readers a visual, add emotional effect, and add breaks in the text so it's easier to scan through and not spend too much time in one place on the guide.

After reading Zayla's and Michaela's posts, I felt good about what I wrote as the conventions of QRGs because they were basically the same things. Hyperlinking, imagery, subheadings, and informality were things we had in common in our answers. So, I basically was just reassured that the answers I had were correct.

Hi! We have very similar ideas on the QRG Genre. I think that hyperlinking and photos are definitely a major part of the QRG especially because it's so informal. I agree with you regarding the use of images in the QRGs but also I think they're there to additionally provide emotional appeal rather than just to give the reader a break from all the heavy word content.
ReplyDeleteI thought your discussion of what a QRG was was spot on, and you didn't go on and on about them. You kept it concise and to the point, but communicated everything that you thought was important about them. I didn't feel like anything was missing, so I think you did a great job of keeping it no nonsense but informative.
ReplyDeleteII like how concise you were with your answers, it was very informative but also a quick read. It seems like you know exactly what a QRG is and how to write one.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joy! You're answers are very concise after reading a very elaborate one. An elaborate one is always good, but I liked how you were able to just get to the point with your answers; you still conveyed your message. I don't think you left anything out. I had the same conventions :)
