5: ideas
Here are 8 things I came up with for our REPLACE project:
1. Replace authors/sources with “anonymous”
Does a message become less convincing when you don’t know the source?
2. Replace all the periods with exclamation points.
How exciting could things get?
3. Replace all links with fake links that don’t click.
Take some time to really look at the page you’re on.
4. Replace all pronouns with their opposite.
Would this highlight an imbalance in gender representation?
5. Replace a name with a different one.
What would it look like if Obama spoke like Trump?
6. Replace first person pronouns with third person.
This is just for fun, I suppose.
7. On a news site, replace names and locations with those from kid shows.
How does this affect the message?
8. Replace actual country names with really stereotypical names.
Can you still tell what the story is about? If so, how does that feel being able to correctly identify a country based on its stereotype?
