Technology Project Introduction

Welcome Miss Buhler's Junior AP Literature Class!
Here is a podcast of the Technology Project for this year:


This podcast has the complete description of your Technology Project for this quarter. Students will be working in groups for a mass media project focusing on biases found in mass media. Students will create a blog reporting their findings.  At the end of the project students will present a multimedia presentation.

Here is a written version of the podcast:

Students will participate in a mass media project locating and analyzing biases in mass media forms, such as fashion magazines, advertisements, newspaper, online forms of media, and other forms of mass media.

Students will be working in groups of two to three students each, and will create a blog per group.  This blog will document research, and allow access for the teacher, and other students to comment and add input to project.

Students will write a “Predictions Post” before starting project about what they anticipate to learn in this lesson.

Students will be required to post their progress weekly, in updates, reflections, and research findings. I encourage students to post feedback and input on other group projects in the class.  The class blog will have a link to every group’s blog.

After four weeks of research, students will design a presentation using a multimedia form, (PowerPoint, SMART Board presentation, video, podcast, etc).
