Unit 3B Journal Padlet

Overview

The purpose of the Padlet is to relate the class material to your personal life and the world around you. The class is about media and we are surrounded and immersed in media most of our day. Making these connections increases your awareness and your media literacy. By the end of the course, you will have a visual journal of your media exploration.

To complete this assignment...

Use the appropriate included link to access your Padlet. The class has been randomly divided into groups to reduce the number of posts to read. If you don't already know, find your group name in your Canvas profile; it will be listed with this class and section number. Please make a note of your group name. Posts included on other group Padlets need to be moved to the correct place. Contact the instructor if this happens. Group names: Print, Audio, Visual, Digital, Ad/PR.

Every post contains your text and either accompanying visuals and/or audio. You can include pictures, graphics, videos, trailers, memes, giphys, cover art, etc. Make your post interesting. Text needs to be at least 5 paragraphs and use correct grammar, paragraph structure, and spelling.

How to Enter Your Journal Post Here for Grading

To submit your post for grading:

• Enter the URL link to your Padlet to allow for in-app review.
• Make sure to submit the assignment after pasting the URL. This records your entry into the gradebook and notifies the instructor.

Unit 3B Journal Topic

After reading the "Current Articles" for this Unit (3B), choose one and explore the ideas/concepts further. (If you submitted 3A Article analyses before I found the typo, your posts will, of course, be accepted.)

No need to summarize the content. Choose at least two points within the article/video/chart and conduct further research. Present your information - and then your analysis. Don't forget to include your references/citations.
