Class 11 - Radio

DISCUSSION: Students wrote on the board the radio stations they listen to, including satellite and Internet radio. We discussed the formats, including rap, hip-hop, rap, public and campus stations and latin. No one seemed to listen to country, the most popular format in the U.S.

HISTORY: We discussed the invention of radio and watched a brief clip about "War of the Worlds" and a clip about CKLW , a 1960s-1970s AM station in the Detroit area that I listed to as a tweener/teenybopper.


DVD: We continued to view This Film is Not Yet Rated, an analysis and commentary on the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system.




HOMEWORK: Read Chapter 9 - Television, complete workbook page. We will have a Ch. 9 quiz on Thursday.

QUIZ MAKEUPS - See the post below. Clarification: You can make up 50 quiz points during the quarter. That could be 5 quizzes you totally missed or scored 0 on, or a few points from several quizzes where you scored less than 10.  New due date: Tuesday Feb. 15.

GRADES: If your grades are lagging, now is the time to catch up on work, e.g. the Internet Search Project  (e-mail the assignment to me as TurnItIn has expired) and missing Blogs.
