Summary:
~ Today in Mrs. Matthew's humanities class we started off the day by doing the daily diary blog reviewing what we did on the 3rd. We took a quiz(that wouldn't be graded, on how americans use electronic devises. After this we added another section to our notebooks called Media literacy. For the media literacy section, we discussed the influence the media has on how we form our perspectives, and make decisions. We were given a worksheet and on this worksheet, there were images of photocopied ads, both of them advertising alcoholic beverages. The first had a group of men, partying in football gear. The add slogan said, "Not only do you guys wear the same outfits, but occasionally even the same makeup. Real men. real bourbon". On the outside we would think that it it's just advertising beer, but when we took a closer look, we found that it does create a stereotype that only real men love to party and drink hard liquor, and anyone who doesn't fit this, is not a real man. After talking more about this, we moved on to our Cannery Row Essay packets. It turned out, the essay we did on our test was actually a rough draft for an upcoming project. A couple things in our Cannery Row Essay packet included how to do proper citation, themes. It also listed words you can use to replace the worn out words we always use like mean,sad,and happy for example. We then wrote down our homework and moved on the period 3.
Examples:
Instead of...
nice> compassionate, sympathetic,courteous, etc
Mean> unkind,impolite etc
Coward> Gutless, spineless, weak
