Alayna, Shannon and I met in the library during class time on Tuesday. We looked up information on the fact check websites that were listed on the class blog, as well as cnn.com, foxnews.com, colbertnation.com, and thedailyshow.com
I feel as if we found a lot of good information, however we still have a lot to do. We've decided that Fox definitely distorts the information to make it look like the Muslims are being insensitive towards the victims of 9/11. One of our favorite clips we found was an interview between CNN and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the leader of these community center's and Mosques close to Ground Zero. Rauf explains that we also knew people who were victims in the Twin Towers and that he is not trying to be insensitive but give people a place to congregate.
In addition to finding more information, we are also looking for templates for a magazine so our project will have a professional look to it.
Hey this is Shannon. For meeting number one we mostly just looked up information and fact-checking and planned the magazine a little. We also looked magazine templates, without much success.
ReplyDeleteour first meeting was a little rough because no one was exactly sure what we were supposed to do and where to begin, but we started getting really good ideas by just watching different clips and learning about our subject.
