For our second group project we were in the library. As a group we watched a few more clips about Park51 and started brainstorming on how to complete the project.
I suggested a format for the magazine which Alayna and Shannon both really liked and agreed it sounded like the best way to complete the project. After deciding on the layout we then discussed what types of articles to have in the magazine, how to make sure we got all the information included that we needed and still make it fun and creative. I'm really excited for how the finished project is going to look. I think we had a pretty clever idea with the format and everything we are putting into it.
At the end of the meeting, we decided how to divide up the work so that everyone is doing the same amount and the project gets done in time to get it printed and turned in. The plan is for Shannon to work with the Fox News material while Alayna is working on the Colbert and Daily shows. They are both supposed to write 4 articles to put in the magazine. I am them doing all the "surprises" of the magazine and then tying everything together and adding in the ethics and theories of the press. Shannon and Alayna are going to have their articles to me by Thursday so I can put everything together and get the magazine printed and bound to have turned in by Tuesday.
Overall, I feel like everyone did a great job in the meeting and the work is divided up the best way possible. I'm excited to see all the information we have found put into the magazine and see the finished project!
So we had our meeting in the library on Tuesday. I thought it was fun. We distributed specific jobs to each other, which was nice, so then, we knew exactly what we needed to do. I think we were making things really difficult when actually they are not that bad. Laura suggested a new format for our magazine which was funny because last week I was thinking of something along the same lines of needing to show each side equally on its own. I have to watch the fox news sides of Park51 and write about them. -Shannon
