How has using social media impacted this project?
Social media allows u to access many different platforms and interact with humans all over the world. It creates research that reflects all humans and opinions. Using social media has allowed me to learn about issues pretraining my animal that I had no idea about. Not only am I now aware of these issues, but I am also able to easily find infographics, research projects, studies, and much more. When I create my posts I have to think about my audience. I have learned how to make posts that humans will find interested and want to click on and continue reading. I do not have any other 'professional' accounts, so having this twitter has been a new challenge for me. I have learned how to use my words in concise, informational posts, that my classmates, peers, and professional humans all over can enjoy.
My tweets
This is one of my favorite tweets because this non-profit is super amazing. I Liked that I screenshotted their message so that my followers could know exactly what is important to this organization and why they should care. This helped with practicing reader persuasion and gaining reader engagement.
This is another one of my favorite tweets. Wolves lives are in the hands of politics. With my research i have found out how horribly wolves are being treated right now. This tweet showed my research skills, and I practiced writing concisely by picking one quote from this article that I felt best reflected the current issue wolves are facing right now.
This is a tweet that I think failed. I believe the message is good and I showed my research skills, but i think I could have been more concise with my caption.
What is the SMC project?
The Objective of the SMC project is for me and my peers to practice our research skills and find new ways of advocating for the issues we find in our research. It is our job to use our voice for the good of our planet. This project has taught us how to find issues and their solutions, but also advocate for what is right and speak up for the changes we hope to be made.

Problems and Solutions
Problems
I chose these tweets as my best for the problem portion of this project because I concisely address exactly what the current issue is with wolf livelihood. The issue is that they have been taken off the endangered species list, causing hunters to kill them, forcing them closer to extinction.
Solutions
I chose these as my best solutions because they do not give you false hope or tell you to do unattainable things. Advocate for wolves, ensure their safety, and work hard to get wolves back on the endangered species list!
