[Media Studies & Communication: Week 6, 5th Period]
Logan was at his desk when everyone came into the room, and each of the students had a laptop computer, while the coffee machine continued to burble in the back of the room.
"Good morning! So last week I'd asked for your project proposals, and keep in mind those are due next Monday, February 19th.
Logan tapped out a URL that displayed on the large screen behind him. "So, today we're looking at News Stories of the Century. I know not all of us may be on the same timeline here, but I think the headlines speak for themselves in terms of their importance.
"I'd like you to take a look at the results of their poll, in which the public were asked to rank these pages by importance in their opinion. Your assignment is to pick your top five headlines and tell me why, even just briefly. If you agree with the public or the journalists' picks, then just tell me why as well.
"After that, you're free to work on your projects again," Logan said, motioning to a side table where he had laid out supplies for posters and other things and sign ups for equipment of different types all very handwavey, of course. "Or browse the website a bit, if you prefer. I particularly recommend the section on women photographers or the trivia game."
