11 Sentence paragraph- What are the most important parts of a webquest? There are three very important parts in a webquest. The first one is Process. It is important because you need to know and understand how you are going to do something, or else you mess up and the end result isn't good or as good as it could be, Also, if you need to help someone repeat your webquest, you need to be able to describe your process to them. Next in Evaluation. You need to know who helped a lot and who hardly helped. Also, if you get a poor grade, and you think you deserve better because you did a lot of the work. The last one is Conclusion. This is important because you are summing up everything you said in the webquest. Also, you are telling everyone that this is the end of your webquest. These are what I think are the three most important part in a webquest.

Step 1: 1) Movie, radio broadcast, tv show, news show, MP3 music, YouTube, music videos, newspapers, comics, pictures, 2)To entertain, inform, and persuade. 3) The media is influenced by whose in control of the media. Also, it could be influenced by what events are occurring. 4)The effects are that they won't be portrayed as "good", so they probably won't get as many votes.

Step 2: 1)The American's were viewed in the first part as helpers in the beginning, but near the end, it says that they were really just performing like they were told to. Most of the Iraqi's were really soldiers and journalists dressed up like Iraqi's. The Iraqi's were represented as noble citizens who wanted Suddam Hussien to be overthrown.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4) Closer up made it look like the crowd was large, but if you looked closely, you could see the journalists and soldiers and even less Iraqis. From far away. it showed that the crowd was really very small and made up of very little Iraqis and more Americans.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">5) It effected our understanding by making us think that the American's were helping the Iraq's with pulling down the statue, when we really staged the whole event.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">6) The selected close ups to show and far away shots to omit. They wanted everyone to be rooting for Americans.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">7) They wanted the pictures to be doctored because of people actually knew that American's were doing this, there would be riots and everyone would be mad at the government.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">8) It served the purpose of making everyone else biased towards American's because they didn't know the whole story, therefore, they wanted to help us out in the war because we were the "good guys".

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">9) The American government benefits from these images.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">10) Yes, I think altered images can change history. They can because if people never know that they were changed, then they would be biased forever, but if they find out that they were changed, then they would be very mad at the government.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Step 3: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We chose to do slide 5. This was Daily News versus The Sun. The American newspaper was defending America and the Iraq newspaper was telling a less biased version of the story. Also, our headlines and words are much larger, therefore, I think that we had less to say about the event and only told citizens the parts that would benefit us. The Daily News was telling everyone that we played a "key role in the war's success." and The Sun showed a picture of a few Iraqis hitting a metal statue of Suddam Hussien with a rock.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Step 5: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Many major events in history use propaganda to show only one side of the event. Media assists in shaping and influencing the way events are portrayed and recorded. A government or country's actions can be supported and legitimized through the media. Media plays a very large part in changing history. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When you look at newspapers, movies, pictures, or any other type of media, you may not notice the fact that it went through an editor or two. If you look closer, you may see that there is actually very little that they are telling you. Most editors enlarge the font and put more pictures in than needed. I believe they do this to cover up the fact that they are only showing the "good side", or the side that makes Americans look like the good guys. Also, the view of the photos or news coverage makes a huge difference in which way it is portrayed. Close up could make a crowd of 30 people look 3 times it's size, but if you look even closer, you can pick out certain things. Like the crowd being made up of mostly reporters and soldiers, or seeing angry Iraqi's, when you think that they are happy to have us helping out. Another thing is that it is very dangerous to change photos because it could make people angry. If a government changes a picture and the people find out that they were making everyone biased towards them, the people could get very angry at the government and start riots or even wars. On the other hand, if people never find out, it changes history forever and no one can even change it back or fix the mistake that they made. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Now you see why changing photos is bad for our nation. People have altered things many times. From new coverage that is "live" to photos from other countries. When you compare newspapers or picture from the United States to other countries like Afghanistan or Iraq, you will notice the difference in the way we as Americans are portrayed. Many people pass these small changes by everyday. Little do they know, that a different view could start a horrible war, killing many innocent people.
