In class media critique for Friday jan 29

In class today you are to read any of the two articles linked below.  Then, I would like for you to write on your blog or on paper and post or submit by the end of class how the articles address an EQ of your choosing. Please make sure that you support your answer with specific evidence that you explain. I also want  you to think about the different layers exposed in the article to help you see the depth.
  • Explain how the authors convey and integrate imagery, setting and work on mood.
  • Think and explain the techniques  the authors are using-are the articles similar or different?How are the authors conveying the sense/tone of evil? Eg word choice, images etc…What patterns in society or contexts contribute to the layers you are seeing?
  • Remember to keep thinking about all the layers in the texts and how they are similar and/or different.  Back up and explain your examples!!!!!!
  • How do the authors convey the evil, darkness in humanity? Events, people, imagery,setting etc
  • What impacted you the most and why?

BBC- select one of the 3 stories. This counts as 1 of the choices.
Children of the Genocide
The Rwandan Girl Who Refused to Die
