3. Answers.com

Now that we have started to figure out when and where our topics first appeared. What are some significant examples?

1. Open this Cluster Diagram to take notes (the center circle is your topic and the outer circles are for examples and details)
2. Go to Grolier and look up your topic. Remember, you may need to do a Boolean search.
3. As  you find examples, tell your team’s note-taker to add to the graphic organizer

Where can you get the news? How can you get the news? Who makes the news? Who owns the news? Think about how this applies to all forms of media.

Start brainstorming. To do this, follow these directions:

EITHER

1. Open Pages
2. Choose Blank
3. File Save As> name-media1 (for example: Bob-media1)
4. Start brainstorming. You can either create a concept map or just make a list. It’s your call.

OR

1. Go to the Holt Interactive Graphic Organizer site.
2. Pick any organizer (or organizers)
3. When you are done, in order to save, you need to create a PDF

• File>Print
• Click on PDF and then choose Save As PDF
• Save the file as name-media1 (for example: Bob-media1)
• If you need more than one organizer, save the second one as name-media2 or name-media3

In order to keep track of how long it takes you to read each page, use this graphic organizer.

1. Open Pages
2. File>Save As>Name-Typing2 (save to your Documents folder)
3. Open this link
4. Type the story as it appears.
