Blog post 5

My first choice of audience, when remediating my paper, would have to be younger children. Since I wrote my genealogy about vampires, it would be more likely for children to be interested in this specific topic rather than elderly people. I would chose to present the genealogy of vampire legends through visuals like a poster board. Children understand and connect ideas easier when they have images to look at. I would start with images of what vampires were said to look like when myths about them first started to circulate; dark creatures with a round figure that were said to lurk the towns at night. To contrast, I would then show them pictures of how media presents them today. 

Another audience that I could present my genealogy to would be my peers in college. Since there has been many recent media involving vampires that speaks to this age group, I would want to present them with facts about the truth of these mysterious creatures. Many people have no idea where the legends of vampires came from. I would use a collage, in venn-diagram form, to compare and contrast how vampires looked and acted today and when they were first talked about. 

Film producers would be another group of people that could benefit from a remediation of the genealogy of vampires. With an increased interest in these vampire creatures, movie producers have taken advantage of this attention and have used creatures like them in their productions. I would use a song to describe what vampires where like in ancient myths and compare them to the vampires of today.
