We started the class by reviewing the US states and capitals, then we watched CNN Student News. An earthquake struck on the East coast. We looked up earthquakes in Iowa, and the latest one was in Shennadoah, in 2004.Rebels in most cases are negative, but in some cases they are good. Lybia supplied a lot of the oil until the civil war broke out in Feb.Media Literacy Question of the Day~~How do you think that a news organization can verify conflicting reports received from a war zone? Why do you think that it is important to verify information before reporting it? So you can have the facts, the news organization's rep. would go down.Daily Discussion Questions~~In your opinion, what criteria should the international community use to determine who is in control of Libya?~What resources do you think that the residents seen in the program might need in the wake of Hurricane Irene? They will need a start preparing by closing their houses up and get supplies.~What concerns do you have, if any, about paying for college? What roles do you think that parents, students, governments and others should play in supporting higher education, and why? I think that the parents shouldn't do anything because they have supported the student all through their other schooling and college is when reality hits some people. The government needs to lower the costs and offer more college courses in high school.~What impact will the reopening of Lybian oil have on world gas prices? The oil prices will go down hopefully, and more people will travel. The higher gas prices means more people won't go anywhere and the gas companies won't make money.
