Each of you will lead the class in a warm up. Find and bring a form of media and lead a discussion about it with your class mates. You can use any form of media you want. You can reference the example topics from past students below.
**This warm up is worth 5% of your total grade. You must email your idea and materials to the teacher one class before your warm up to receive feedback. If you do not, your warm up will be skipped.
When you make your warm up, your job is to have the group discuss about a topic--you do not need to give us answers, just have us think about something new and discuss the meaning and connection to media.
When you make your questions think about the how, when, what where and who that would connect with the media you choose to lead a discussion about.
Your warm up must:
o Idea must be emailed one class before your presentation date for feed back or you can not present.
o Be between 5-15 minutes long. Please practice and time yourself before your warm up. And remember it takes more time to pass out papers and teach a lesson than just doing a presentation.
o Have a paper worksheet or digital version of your discussion to go with your media presentation.
o Have a form of media for the class to look at together.
o Ask questions and lead a discussion.
After you present your warm up you must write a reflection on how the warm up went.
