Who had this problem? John Smith Opinion Editor, Teen Ink. The problem he had was that nobody were turning in articles about media control. In the Fahrenheit 451 project, were asked to write an article that demonstrated the degree to which modern media is controlling society and shaping citizen's view and understanding of the world. They wanted to see articles that address how editorial choice, censorship, bias, and perspective-amongst other editorial practices-shapes the narrative of events that the media "screens" for Americans. In the Fahrenheit 451 project, the opinion editor, John Smith, of Teen ink magizine had a shortage of opinion articles on what role media plays in our society and he wanted more. We had to read the book Fahrenheit 451 which is this whole society consumed by media. We were focusing on the subject of media control, after we read the book we were to write an article on a media topic like magazines or social media and how it plays a role in our society.The topic of my article was Television ads and how they influence teens to buy things.
In this project I become better in Written proficiency. Written proficiency is that students read to write, and write to be read. They are able to express themselves clearly to various audiences in multiple genres and subject areas through their ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions. They are also able to evaluate their own writing in order to revise effectively, taking charge of their own writing process. This project helped me grow in this learning outcome due to the project itself revolving around writing an article. I learned how to connect the thesis to the topic sentences of the body paragraphs in order to make sure that the essay flows correctly and that it won't be confusing to the reader. Also in this project, I learned what it means to have true work ethic. Work ethic is the demonstration of self discipline, the ability to map, plan, and generate a product; to be responsible to oneself and to others; and the constant, energetic application to study or work with the intention of achieving excellence.
