Today in class we discussed a new assignment due tomorrow. The assignment was to find a non academic article to use for our senior paper. The article needs to be related to a movie or TV show that we have watched recently. The article can’t be about the show itself but an issue or topic that was brought up in the show/ movie. Mr. Rivers provided an example of this during class. He said if there was an episode of South Park that dealt with outrage culture, we would need to find an article about outrage culture. We are not supposed to get an article about South Park. The article needs to be published within the last year. This does not mean the three days that we have been in in 2018. It also includes all of 2017. The article needs to be from a credible source such as NY Times, The Atlantic, Wired, The New Yorker, and more. You can find more details on google classroom.
We then started to discuss the article that we read yesterday about X-Men. Mr. Rivers created a chart on the board that compared the X-Men article to the Net Neutrality article that we read before break. We had to compare the two articles in five categories. The first one was organization. The second one was content and purpose. The third was research. The fourth was style and the fifth was audience. We got about 10 minutes to fill out the table in our groups and then we discussed them as a class. After collaborating with the class our table looked like this…
