2/26/14

Warm-up: Online, I would like for you to find a current event in the US; hopefully one related to labor, urban conditions, or pollution. The catch is, you need to find this event from two different sources.

Example sources for one interpretation of the current event:
 Other sources for another interpretation of the event:

After you have found your event from two different sources, write a 1-3 sentence summary for the event from both sources. Then print and circle all description/adjective words, statistics and words that bring about emotions. Did you notice any difference in the information provided about the event? Do you feel  more inclined to beleive one story over the other and why? 

Class Activity: 

Maine Explosion and Yellow Journalism
Film Clip Spanish American War

HW: Next Reading and Quiz.
