We have selected 100 tweets from our one page, “The ‘NOIS”, besides tweets from other outlets. Please feel free to suggest three more tweets per group, as we may need to replace some tweets after rating them.
You can access the excel sheet through the following link https://drive.google.com/open?id=1U5fuExuIrspJNYumYZzDdVWeYb3aSt_E44GjSPacgKo
We would like for each one of you to rate those tweets according to the following instructions.
Based on the 10 qualities that we have agreed on in our last class,we will be using a scale from 1 to 5, with five being “strong” to rate the presence of each quality per Tweet,
Grades (5-4) should be used only once in every tweet, and grades (1-3) should not be used for more than three qualities.
If you want to give a high grade to any of the qualities mentioned in the rating sheet, ask your self the following questions,and which one of those qualities had the most influence on you?

– Are there any time indicators in the tweet (now, today…)
