MdSt 20: May 3 Man of the Year…
- With so many students missing and two classes left this week, students watched the video Man of the Year that we have been talking about in class. It falls in line with the discussion of political comics becoming a greater source of information for the general public. The reason for this is that their bias or opinion is usually blatantly expressed, whereas news programs have a bias but do a fairly good job of camouflaging it.
- Students who come to class tomorrow afternoon will finish watching the movie.
