A bit of satire!
This is week number 5; that means we are halfway through the first quarter. Please remember that, unlike last spring, this is not a pass / fail class. The numerical grades are the ones that will ultimately determine 1) if you actually graduate and 2) probably where you will pursue any further education next year. Since many schools are forgoing SAT scores, they are relying on your school grades.
So be cognizant of your academic choices.
Today, Tuesday, is your second day to explore a variety of news sources. Please complete the graphic organizer and share. EASY A.
***************************************************************
News around the world exploration
Before moving into how news stories are constructed, we will explore some of the world's news sources across the spectrum.
Be prepared to discuss:
What is important locally, nationally and internationally?
What overlaps do you see and why are they there?
What diction (word choice) is used? Do you note any bias?
Assignment: You will have two class days to complete the following organizer. Obviously, you can expand the framework as needed. I given you a variety of news sources and would like to familiarize yourself with them.
