Content/Analysis Guidelines
1. Intro: Summarize, but not everything! Apply the “Fred Rule.” What’s the most startling, most interesting “news” from your study of these cartoons? What are your key findings?
2. What is the overall message conveyed in the cartoons regarding immigration and undocumented workers? In other words, how are the immigrants and the issues framed by the editorial cartoonists?
3. How would you characterize the overall tone of the cartoons—positive/negative, etc.? Why?
4. What stories about race and ethnicity are reinforced or challenged in the cartoons?
5. What are the different messages being cultivated about the immigration debate in our country?
6. What terms are used to describe undocumented immigrants? Are the terms considered degrading or derogatory?
7. Is there a difference in the tone of the cartoons published in different news sources or drawn by different cartoonists? What difference do you find between domestic and international cartoons?
8. What are the major differences and similarities between how different cartoonists frame immigration?
9. Relate your conclusions to framing theory and other relevant media effects theories and media literacy concepts that we’ve discussed. How are the cartoonists constructing a specific “reality” about immigration?
10. Can you suggest the potential impact of the cartoons? How are we encouraged to “think” about the immigration and undocumented immigrants working in the U.S.?
11. Be sure that the conclusions you present in your team essay are supported by the editorial cartoons you coded and analyzed.
12. Be specific and use examples from the cartoons to support your major arguments.

Please note: I’m not asking you to take a position in the debate over immigration reform. In other words, your team essay or multimedia project is NOT about whether you oppose or support the criminalization of undocumented workers. In order to conduct a “fair and balanced” analysis of the cartoons, you must be able to analyze—fairly—how the cartoonists frame the issue without your personal opinions interfering. It’s very important to be aware that our selective perceptions, attention and retention processes are forms of bias that need to be set aside in order to analyze media objectively.

Pentagon report, Nov. 30: When Service members talk about a unit member they believe to be gay or lesbian, their assessment of that individual was based on a complete picture and actual experience, including the Service member’s technical and tactical capabilities and other characteristics that contribute to his or her overall effectiveness as a member of the military and as a colleague.

By contrast, when asked about serving with the imagined gay Service member who is “open” about his or her sexual orientation …[s]tereotypes motivated many of the comments we heard.

-This is the pentagons actual report on what they came up with after talking to people and many news stations used the wrong numbers with the stats that they were reporting.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid quoted the late Sen. Barry Goldwater: "You don't have to be straight to shoot straight," he said.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia did not vote today, but he released a written statement saying he does not support the repeal. Manchin was the lone Democrat to vote against the measure last week, and he said today he remained concerned about the timing and impact of the repeal given that the nation is currently at war.

"While I believe the DADT policy will be repealed, and probably should be repealed in the near future, I cannot support a repeal of the policy at this time," he said.

Jackson's work

Last night I spent two hours researching victims of Don't Ask Don't Tell and put all of my information into a power point with pictures and quotes.

New team meeting

Today we met and formed our script so that we can do all of the filming and editing this weekend. We spent an hour and a half today. Also we forgot to mention that we had a group meeting last Thursday in the library that lasted two hours.

Look what I found!

Hey guys! I've been doing research, and I found this timeline for Don't Ask Don't Tell!
