class 11  online topic survey

12.3.21 YDEI meme (need to find out who is author & assignment)

To begin addressing the question #1 topic in your class 9 response on “what to study”, survey the web to see varied ways it is represented.   

  1. Find five (5) quality sources. 

    1.  Two articles from New York Times (legacy media).  Need to enroll in NYT free membership for UMass students:  https://websites.umass.edu/comm397ss-jsaxe/class-enroll-nyt/
    2.  One article from a specialty publication that somehow relates to your issue, e.g. WIRED, Variety, Teen/Vogue, ESPN, what else?
    3.  Two from social media: written text and/or visual, e.g. Twitter, Instagram,TikTok.  

2.  Annotate these sources.

      • Write a two to three sentence summary.  
      • Start with a strong opening sentence.
      • Do you best to avoid: “This article is about…”  Rather state a central idea,e.g.  “TikTok has become the source of news and local entertainment-hospitality reviews for youth, a most coveted consumer demographic.”   
      • Include some particularly useful information:  facts, theory, history, graphs, etc. 
      • Write another sentence or more on how you see this as relevant to the YDEI power matrix.   
      • For each source, follow annotation guidelines for online sources. https://websites.umass.edu/comm397ss-jsaxe/annotation-guidelines/
      • Write in your words. Don’t copy & paste, i.e. plagiarize.

3.  Write a one-paragraph summary of what you’ve found: your thoughts, questions, and possible follow-up directions.

POST TO YOUR GOOGLE DOC.  INCLUDE ASSIGNMENT DATE AND TITLE AT TOP.  Send link to instructor:  jsaxe@comm.umass.edu
