  1. Unit 5 What is my place in society?

  2. What is unit 5 about?? • What is my place in society? • How am I influenced by the media? • How do I influence the media? • What is my responsibility as a producer and consumer of media?

  3. Bell Ringer • Go look at your goals that are posted on the wall….Have you achieved the goal yet? If so…what will you do to continue being successful or if not, what will you do to complete this goal?

  4. DOL • Please complete the following pre-quiz that is in front of you….. • You are not getting a grade for this…it will only inform us of what you know and do not know

  5. Grammar: Comma Rule #1 • Use a comma to separate two adjectives (what is an adjective??) when the word and can be inserted between them. • Use a comma if the adjectives are equally important and give similar kinds of information. • Example: It was a cold, windy morning.

  6. How the heck do I know what words are equally important?? • Ask yourself if the words give a similar kind of information. • If you say yes….then they need a comma between them. • Similar or hell no, not similar?? • Crabby/dissatisfied • Frigid/fresh

  7. So if you said no….they are not similar then….. • Don’t use a comma if the adjectives are not equally important or give different kinds of information. • Example: He was a clever young man. • Hint: To check if adjectives give similar kinds of information or not, put and between the adjectives. (It was a cold and windy morning.) If adjectives give different kinds of information, the and between the adjectives doesn't sound right. (He was a clever and young man.)

  8. What?? You want to practice…ok =) • They slept under a warm fluffy quilt. (correct??)  • (It would be perfectly natural to describe the quilt as warm and fluffy.) There should be a comma • They slept on a cold, cement floor. (Correct?) •  (These adjectives should not be separated by a comma; if you inserted "and" between them, the result would be an unnatural construction.) No comma

  9. PROPAGANDA Please read the following article and create a definition of the term propaganda!

  10. Time to watch a video… • You do not need to take notes!!!

  12. What are some strategies that advertisers use? • Bandwagon- a party, cause, or movement, that by its mass appeal or strengthen readily attracts many followers • Everyone else is doing it, why shouldn’t we??

  13. What are some strategies that advertisers use? • Endorsement (Testimonial)- a formal approval or sanction usually from someone famous

  14. What are some strategies that advertisers use? • Glittering generalities-are emotionally appealing words so closely associated with highly-valued concepts and beliefs that they carry conviction without supporting information or reason

  15. Other important words • Bias- a particular tendency or inclination especially one that prevents fair consideration of the idea or topic being presented • Stereotype- a popular belief about specific types of individuals

  16. Bell Ringer • How do you believe that the media influences you? Think about print media, commercials etc.

  18. Grammar: Comma Rule #2 • Use a comma after phrases of more than three words that begin a sentence. • If the phrase has fewer than three words, there’s no need for a comma. Example: To apply for this job, you must have previous experience. On Monday I get to sleep in late because there is no school.

  19. Time to practice!! • Because Sharon and David was concerned about school loans they decided to save their money for the future.
