MdSt 20: May 17 Hand in assignments / documentary viewing…

  1. Students were asked to hand in their five assignments they have finished up recently. I will accept them as well tomorrow.
  2. We began watching the documentary by Micheal Moore titled Farenheit 9-11. Before going into the projector room, we talked about the recent conflict over Moore in the news. He is filming a new documentary titled Sicko  and took 9-11 rescue workers with health problems to Cuba for medical treatment. This is against American laws!
    We began watching the film and students were asked to look for examples and methods of Moore’s bias through his filming. They are clear to pick up his opinions much more carefully now.

Students were smart to point out the use of music and footage to create a point that is not necessarily fact-based. See what you think?
