Dear Media Arts Students:
From Section 2's discussion today, I'd like everyone to post a link to a favorite "protest song" that's on the web. Now, please be careful!! One song that was suggested to me: Freedom of Speech by Immortal Technique, though artfully done and entertaining to listen to, should not be considered material that is OK to post on this blog. Simply put, the nature of the material and language used can be considered offensive. So...play it safe, shall we?! Post away...and keep it clean!!
Also, each student in the Media Arts class will need to interview, on camera, one adult that was around and remembers, the Kent State Shootings. I'll talk more about this in tomorrow's classes, but I wanted to let you know now, so that you can start thinking about who you will interview.
-Mr. Hoban
