A web quest is a way of putting together information that supports your opinion of something. It mainly focuses on one particular topic. It's purpose is to share what they found with other people.
questions:
1. How are we going to be put into our groups?
2. What is a working document?
3. When will this web quest be starting?
4. Mr. A, why are you teaching. You are too old to teach.
Step 1
List of media that I can think of:
Newspaper: entertain, inform, persuade
Television: inform, entertain, persuade
Internet: entertain, inform, persuade
News conferences: inform
Radio: inform, entertain, persuade
Magazines: entertain, inform, persuade
Movies / Documentaries: inform, entertain, persuade
Bil boards: persuade, inform
Books: inform, entertain, persuade
3) Media can be influenced by Government because if Government doesn't want something to be shown by the media, it will not be shown. An economic factor that can influence media is if a company pays the media to either show their ad or hush up something that they did. A natural disaster or man made disaster can drastically change the media because it will be all over the media.
4) The effects are that the group that is not portrayed will probably face distrust and glares and will probably have their reputation ruined.
Step 2
1. The Iraqis were portrayed as being happy about the statue, but they were not. The Americans were portrayed as heroes to the Iraqis by helping them, although the Americans were not.
2 The location is Middle East, bordering the Persian Gulf, between Iran and Kuwait. The capital is Accra. The climate is desert with mild winters. Language is Arabic. Religion is Muslim. Culturally, Iraq has a very rich heritage.
3 The similarities are that they talk about the same event. The differences are that one talks about how great America is and that is an American paper. The other papers talk about how bad America is.
4 the video was staged. it was filmed with the two flags of the countries.the soldiers called the people out and told them what to do.
5 The affect this has on me is that it makes me feel mad that the media would lie to us like that. I feel outraged that the soldiers would stoop so low to orchestrate the event. I could be wrong in my opinion because i only have a small understanding.
6 I think the media chose to show the story to show us that everything's great . They omitted the fact that the soldiers orchestrated the entire event.
7 The images in my opinion were doctored to try to place a feeling of peace.
8 It served ,again in my opinion , to make the Iraqis mad at us. Again I'm not for sure.
9 I think that the military benefits from this lie.
10 Yes. If we altered the fact that The people who did the boston tea party did in fact do it, then the seed of rebellion would have been smothered.
Step 3
1 U.s. Newspaper British newspaper
a) really big images kinda small images
b) big fonts and bright colors medium font dark color
c) takes up entire pg. takes up half pg.
2 the us citizens British citizens
3 the Iraqis us soldiers
Step 4
1 The outcome was distrust and hate assaults.
2 yes
3 no it is not multicultural
5yes it has shown me that there are many sides to the story.also don't trust the media.
4 i feel ashamed that citizens of our country would do that to other citizens even if they are Iraqis
6 yes the media has shaped our history, forever placing distrust in our heart.
Step 5
Truth is always the first casualty of war. The US staged the pulling down of the statue of Saddam Hussein. The US makes it look like we are the heroes in Iraq. The US made a bigger deal about capturing Saddam. That is what you will hear about.
The US staged the scene when they pulled down Saddam Hussein s statue. They called out the Iraqis from their houses and had them stand there. They zoomed in and made it look like there were more people than there actually was. It showed the US putting our flag over his face. It also showed Iraqis raising their flag up. On the TV, It
looked liked the Iraqis were happy and beating down the statue. It was just US marines and journalists. Very few Iraqis were there and the only ones were forced to come out from hiding. This was a staged event.
The US makes it look like we are risking our lives to help Iraq. Actually, we are killing civilians.The US papers say good things about us in the Iraq war. While, the newspapers from the other countries are saying things like that civilians should hide because it is not safe out there. Some people are a bloody mess! I have seen a picture of a girl without a foot. They talk about citizens being hurt badly because of us. They also talk about fear of the US hurting them. Obviously, there are two side here and only one can be right.
The US made a huge deal about the capturing of Saddam Hussein. The US newspaper said he was caught like a rat. By using that title, the US newspaper went into detail of how he was captured. The US were most likely the only newspaper who portrayed it like this. The newspaper from another country simply stated only that Saddam was a prisoner. Most likely, this was how all newspapers portrayed it. The other paper didn't talk about how he was caught through the title. There is a huge difference in how it was portrayed. Clearly the US makes a bigger deal about it.
In conclusion, truth is the first casualty of war. The US is not all bad though. We were only trying to help the citizens when we pulled down the statue. We think that we are doing the right thing in Iraq. Also, we thought it was a good thing that we captured Saddam Hussein. That is my opinion of truth being the first casualty of war.
