25 february 2022: snow day post

2/24/2022

This is an optional post because class has been canceled due to the snow day.

I love a snow day. I really do. And we've had three of them--all of which have interfered with our class. I can not force you to participate in this post, but I want to encourage all of you to post to this discussion board sometime tomorrow. If you post, I will count it as an extra credit reading journal, giving you another opportunity to make up for either an absence over the limit or a reading journal that you did not turn in or that was a "u" for unacceptable. 

WHAT TO POST: Hopefully, you've located at least one thoughtful source for your project (that was the assignment as listed on the syllabus). Read that source and post the following: 
1. a citation for the source. It doesn't have to be perfect, but information enough so that I could find it if I needed to. 
2. A 100-200 word summary of the argument for the source. USE YOUR REPORTING VERBS to summarize. 
3. 100-200 words on why you think this is a good source. 

This is a version of what I'm asking you to fill out for the annotated bibliography worksheets. Which means if you do this one, you'll only have four more that you are required to do. It really will help you get this work done. 

I am posting this information here, on the syllabus, am going to email it to all of you in the hopes that you'll look at one of these spots for information related to our class. 

Stay cozy and get to work.

1. Edgerton, Gary. The Columbia History of American Television (Columbia Histories of Modern American Life). Illustrated, Columbia University Press, 2009.

2. The argument of this source is that the author pulls the perspective of ordinary people during each time people. The author reports that not only celebrities are impacted by television, but ordinary citizens and people who watch television, are also impacted. I verified with what the author reports by looking at the back of the book to see what his sources were, and was very surprised by how many sources he used in his book. What I do recommend for the author is that he should not include television shows of the time, but add movies to what he is trying to put a perspective on.

3. I think this is a good source because there is a lot of information about, not just about how the television was created and how it impacted society, but it gives information about how television shows were created, the behind the scenes of them, and how those television shows impacted society as a whole. For instance, there is a chapter in the book about how in the nineteen-sixties, during the Kennedy vs. Nixon debate, the people choose Kennedy because of how he looked young on television. Also, the book has tons of sources in the back of the book, like 20 pages of sources, which proves this book is very reliable.
