Topic One: 1. An instance where I was part of a group called, My Future My Choice, and we went to a middle school to promote abstinence and educating children about sexual triggers. We had to talk through a song with the kids and point out the promiscuity within the song. We played “Birthday” by, Katy Perry, and talked through the lyrics. We did this to protect children from the songs corrupting influence. Link to Katy Perry’s song: https://g.co/kgs/uEfyor     2. I felt shocked at how many seductive messages were in the song and I felt uncomfortable explaining the song to middle schoolers. I was also shocked because I listen to some music like that and it was crazy how many sexual references were in the music that I have overlooked. 3. My favorite genres are; R&B, Hip/Hop, and Pop. My favorite artists are; Chris Brown, Future, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, and Enrique Iglesias. Topic Two: 1. In some ways it seems feasible and in some ways it does not seem feasible. It seems

Topic One: 1 I did see some books on the ALA list that I have read. I saw the Captain Underpants series by, Dav Pilkey. I was shocked that this book was listed because I loved reading it growing up. But, I can see where it can be inappropriate, it references a lot of crude language that has to do with poop and stuff, but I thought it was so funny. I also saw, Crank by, Ellen Hopkins, which I totally agree with. That book series is very dark sometimes, I loved reading the books, but some kids growing up may take some of the books more serious than I did. The book references a lot of sex and teenagers acting as if they were adults and making adult decisions and it being okay. And I saw the series ttyl; ttfn; and 18r g8r. These books were also too mature for the audience they targeted. The book was about teenage girls, but they would sometimes sleep with their teachers, or they would use a lot of offensive language. 2. My take on limiting access to certain books is that sometimes it is

1.  INTRODUCE your subject. . Tell why you chose this particular movie, book or recording. Why does it stand out? Is it in the news? - The movie I chose for this assignment was, The Boss Baby, because I watched it last night and it is a new movie.

Include a movie trailer or picture from the film; or a photo of the author or the book cover; or a YouTube video of the artist performing one of her/his songs.  Select a visual element that stands out! - The Boss Baby trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2Bsw3lrhvs 2.  Do some background research on the subject, citing your sources. .

Topic One: I normally will get my news from Facebook, Yahoo, or from talking with my boyfriend. The news is not extremely important to my daily life right now because I am busy with volleyball and moving currently. But, the news was very important to my daily life when the elections were going on. How I know that the news I am using is accurate is, I do not know if it is very accurate some of the time. I really have to check sources when looking on Facebook for bias and credibility and on Yahoo, again I check my sources, but I trust a little bit more with Yahoo. I also believe my boyfriends sources, he is really into watching the news and is majoring in political science. So, while talking with him I make sure to ask questions about where he got his information to make sure it is accurate. My news sources citations: (n.d.).
