My Contributions!

I was in charge of the "Crime and Drugs" page of our blog, as well as the bibliography. I also coded several cartoons related to the crime and drugs aspect of undocumented immigration, which will be in our hard-copy scrapbook.

Finished! Woohoo! Nicely done, Media Dogs!

What I Did!!!

For our project is was in charge of the entire scrapbook. On our blog I took care of the history page along with the job, amnesty and international cartoon pages.

What I contributed to Group Project Numero Dos

I researched both Arizona and Alabama's Immigration Laws I found factual information that backed the editorial cartoonists views on the laws. I also made the home page to the Blog and provided myths about immigration. I provided terms not to use when reporting about immigration and I also provided information about how to analyze political cartoons.


GREAT JOB GUYS! Thanks for everyone's help I think we did a lot better on this Group Project!

Ok, 2011 cartoons coded and sent to Dawn.

I'm going to start working on the crime page this weekend.

Group Meetings

Media Dogs met twice this week with everyone in attendance:

Taylor Smart

Drew Vaughn

Eric Jungblut

Dawn Otterby

Wednesday we all met briefly to discuss our progress and assign a few more tasks. Drew will be responsible for completing the home page for our blog, and I(Dawn) am going to create a history page to add.

Thursday during our group meeting we finalized all the codding of our base twenty cartoons and cleared up and remaining questions. Our project should rock.

Working Diligently

My coding is pretty much done, I'm just working on finalizing my "What reality is framed about immigration/immigrants" sections because I want to continue my fact-checking and fine-tune them. I will have everything complete and sent to Dawn by tomorrow (Friday 10/27) between noon and 3:00. Sorry it is taking so long, I just want my fact-checking to be spot on.

Thanks,

Eric
