Correction to Individual Digital Media Project
Meghan and I have decided to change our topic for our digital media project. We were having a hard time trying to narrow down our topic of reality t.v. Instead of focusing on that, we are going to do our project on the difference between northern and southern dialects. We want to show the different terms used for the same thing (such as pop vs. soda), and why people in these regions talk differently. We also want to work in stereotypes that these two areas have against each other just because of the way they talk.

I think that looking at dialects is a more useful focus in the ELA classroom, and as you realize, it is simply more focused than analyzing reality TV, which will make for a stronger, final project. You might look at the GPS for teaching these concepts to assist you in further focusing your project. What form do you see this taking in the end? I look forward to seeing your final project! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need help!
