DISCUSSION: Students wrote on the board the radio stations they listen to, including satellite and Internet radio. We discussed the formats, including rap, hip-hop, rap, public and campus stations and latin. No one seemed to listen to country, the most popular format in the U.S.
SHOW & TELL: We looked at a telegraph and Morse Code. I forgot to show the other stuff -- radio scripts, old radios, and a transistor radio (see picture) like the one I listened to as a youth. These were approx. 3x5 inches and ran on a 9-volt battery. They were kind of like the iPods of the day, but the only content was AM radio.
HISTORY: We listened to a brief clip from "War of the Worlds" and watched a clip about
CKLW , a 1960s-1970s AM station in the Detroit area.
VIDEO: We watched a video about racial stereotypes in the media. On Thursday, we will discuss current examples of shows, movies, ads etc. that break away from old stereotypes, and those that perpetuate them.
QUIZ: Due to mechanical failure, we didn't have a quiz today. Instead, students will complete the Chapter 8 page in the workbook, and hand that in Thursday.
HOMEWORK: Read Chapter 9 - Television, complete workbook page. We will have a Ch. 9 quiz on Thursday.
