Reminder of our questions for this project:
How can we build a media campaign to express our voices to a public audience?
- What is the difference between speaking for yourself and having others speak for you?
- How are different viewpoints presented in the media?
- How does the media influence concepts of self and others?
- What are the elements of different forms of media?
Class Outline
1. Silent Reading- If you did your 1 min wonder last week, please go back and fill in your goal setting journal. I will give you your mark on the rubric.
2. "Basics" rubric: Some edits I see.
3. Hand back feedback from blog posts. Please go through and edit your posts. If you think you mark should be adjusted, please come speak with me and bring your rubric.
4. Read over the blog posts of all other students. Please comment on at least 3 giving two things you like. You may not be able to post comments on all blogs.
5. Pick your rant topic!
In your rant, you will need to pick a topic that allows you to:
- defend a position on a controversial issue after considering a variety of perspectives
- analyse roots of present-day regional, cultural, and social issues within Canada
- You will be picking a modern regional cultural or social issues within Canada (may also be worldwide).
- You will need to find information from both sides of the issue and some background about the deeper historic roots of the issue. For example, if you want to do women in the media, you will also go back to look at the history of women's rights.
- You should be looking to see if there is good information about the topic online (more than Wikipedia or ask.com).
- When you find a good source, paste its URL in a doc in your NLC folder.
