Review of Meeting/ Research Assignments

We met yesterday during class in the library. Everyone was there, and we were able to finish our entire movie! At the end, we split up the research that needs to be done over the weekend, and we will be meeting again Monday to start our powerpoint presentation. Here are the ways we divided the research based on the Project 3 outline:

Clay: Major similarities and differences between the film and actual news articles (New York Times, etc.)

Kate: Major frames and themes of the film

Alexis: What ideological perspectives are reinforced or challenged?

Brad: What is privileged more, truth or truthiness? Relate these to the media theories.

As a group, we will cover the synopsis and summary of the film, and start on our powerpoint Monday night. See you all then!

Meeting Tomorrow

Thursday's Meeting....

We met in the library yesterday and went over what we wanted to do for this last project. We decided on doing a powerpoint presentation. Until we watch the movie next Tuesday, we are all just pulling articles from "The New York Times" and other newspaper sources. The more information we can get on Harvey Milk, the better. See you all next week!

Project #3................Bring it on.

Our first team meeting for project three will be in library (room 119) during class time tomorrow! See you all then. We have been assigned to analyze the movie "Milk". Tomorrow we will split up the research and see where we can get a copy of the movie to start analyzing!
