Normally, when we are in person, we take a few minutes at the start of each class to journal - it is a good time to reflect and to share out our thoughts.
Today, we will journal about the news media unit. We will work through a few different prompts to help us spur discussion.
What concept from the news media unit has stood out to you the most and why? Has learning about this concept made you see news media differently?
Hegemony Journal
Describe a time when you (or someone you know/knew) acted against your (their) own best interest.
What happened, why did you do it, what was the effect of your action/inaction?
Spiral of Silence Journal
Google Drive Entry - example
Relay a time in your life when you did not speak or act because you felt that your opinion was in the minority or because you felt it was "socially undesirable"
What was the situation? How did it play out? How did you feel?
