Assignment #2
October 30, 2013 by Donny Jiang
My group’s topic for the NY Times project was fashion. We decided on fashion because NYC is one of the trendiest places on Earth and basketball was scrapped as the initial choice. We tried looking for articles that strictly dealt with fashion on different within different levels of society.
I created the page for our NY Times project and I found an international article pertaining to fashion and food. Managing the page was slightly difficult because I tried changing the image of my group’s page multiple times but it didn’t work.
This project forced me to read articles I would normally not take a second look at. I also had to try to understand some of the articles on a basic level even though I had no idea what message it was trying to relate. This helped my “news literacy” because it enhanced my reading comprehension.
