For this activity, we will use the computer lab to search for current examples of public opinion. We will also consider issues of media framing and influence.
1. Form groups of three. Assign one person to be Searcher, one person to be Recorder, and one person to be Reporter.
2. Using Google's News Search, find an example of "public opinion."
3. How is the media source "framing" this public opinion? Record your thoughts.
After 10 minutes, the Reporter will present the example to the class.
4. Select two examples presented by other groups.
5. How do you think the media's presentation of these issues has influenced public opinion on the matter?
