The articles are depicted the way they are because of the pictures and the headlines. 6.I always thought that the Iraqi's attacked us, but that's not what happened. Some tyrants just took control and their country had to face the consequences. So when the leaders should have been punished a bunch of innocent people died for a crime they didn't commit. 7. A.)The decided that the war ion Iraq needed to be censored so many people remained ignorant to the truth, hurting us instead of helping us. B.)They decided not to show us what was really happening, like how many innocent people were being killed by American hands. C.)I think they did this to make the army look like their saving the world, instead of killing the world. 8.I think the images were changed because if the people knew what was really happened they would elect different leaders and the leaders don't want to risk their jobs so they made sure that everything looked fine and dandy. 9.The purpose it served was to help the politicians and the military. 10.I think the citizens of America because ignorance is bliss. Everyone thinks the the army is trying to get rid of the bad leaders not innocent children. 11.Yes, I do think an altered image can change history because it changes what people think and history is always been about people, the decisions and the consequences of the decisions can change history.

Step 3 Consider elements such as: a) Image size b) Use of color and font size c) Dedication of space to a particular article – consider the size of the article. Does this give it more prominence? || Done || What ramifications does this have for ‘their’ side of the story? || done || 1. I think the media has chosen elements that will sell, like newspapers with interesting headlines and big images. Also newscasts with a big segment on the war. 2. The target audience of a newspaper is those who are interested in local and world news. 3. the Iraqi's are not being represented, American hero's are being honored for their bravery, but Iraqi military is being represented as "the bad guy". So now some Americans treat Iraqi's as bad people when their no worse than anybody else.

Step 4

1) What was the outcome for particular groups of people, such as the Iraqi and Muslim population? 2) Do you think the media coverage contributed to their treatment?” 3) Australia prides itself on being a multicultural community but is it truly ‘multicultural’ when there is evidence of increasing racial vilification against particular groups, such as Muslims? 4) How has understanding how the media has portrayed the war in Iraq affected your view of the Iraqi or Muslim population? 5) The title of this web quest is One Event: Many Perspectives. Has the critical analysis of the media portrayal of the war in Iraq altered your perspective, or made you see that there are other sides to the story? 6) What impact do you think the media has had on the historical accuracy of this event? Do you consider that the media has helped change or ‘shape’ history in any way? 7) Create a Socratic question. ||  ||
 * Article || Mark when completed ||
 * 1.)Sikh Perspective || Done ||
 * 2.)Perspective of a DC Cop || Done ||
 * Questions

1st Article 1.) Sikh were considered a branch of Muslim, so they got a lot of hate crime. 2.) Yes, because media represented Sikh as though they were Muslims. 3.) If there is racial issues then they aren't truly multicultural. 4.) I thought that most Iraqi's and Muslims supported Al-Queda when in truth only a small portion did. 5.) Yes it has, because now i see that there is much more to 9/11 then i originally thought. 6.) I think that its had a huge impact because it affected how a whole nation of people viewed a culture. 7.) Why were people victims of hate crime when they had nothing to do with the original crime.

2nd Article 1.) The Americans were shaken but they banded together and helped each other through this tragic time. 2.) Yes, because it helped recognize the hero's of that day. 3.)-6.) The same as above. 7.) Why were we chosen to have planes hijacked and flown into our national monuments.

__**Analytical Writing Task**__

The last task for this Web quest is an individual analytical writing task.

Question:

Find and describe 3 examples from Post WWII US History that demonstrate the concept of different perspectives. How did the United States sway public opinion with the use of media in those examples? Make sure and show other perspectives of the events you choose. For example, you could discuss how the United States portrayed the Cuban Missile crisis and then take a look at it from either the USSR's or Cuba's perspective. Use a wiki table, prezi, or PPT to compare and contrast those differing perspectives for each event you choose. Before you submit your work, check to ensure you have addressed the assessment rubrics located on the Evaluation page on this website.
