Media-Use Log & Reflection
Goal: To make you aware of and reflect upon your current interaction with media.
Select ONE day from the first week of the semester.
Create a detailed and easy-to-read media-use log that provides the following information for that day. Present that info in the 4 columns as shown in the model below. Scroll all the way down to see a shortened model of what your log must look like.
- Since this material must be a 4-column log, you can handwrite your log rather than type it if you want. If you do, you must take a photo of it and paste it into the file with your typed reflection. Whether typed or hand-written, your log needs to be easy to read, comprehensive, and follow the model.
To receive full marks for your log,
- you must have at least 8 entries
You must provide specific titles of TV shows. movies watched and videos games played. For shorter media texts like social media posts or songs, a general summary of the content is enough (see model for examples).
Be sure to format all media titles properly (whether you type or hand write your log).
If you need help figuring out how to add your pic to your file, go here for tips.
Then, review your log and type a reflection with THREE paragraphs–one for each of the following tasks:
Identify what the single most important media experience was to you, and explain why it was the most important. Push yourself to be introspective in discussing why it was so valuable.
Identify which media technology was the most important to you and explain why it was the most important to you
- Reflect on specific ways your daily life would be different if that media technology (i.e., the specific technology you discussed in paragraph #2) didn’t exist. Again, push yourself to imagine an alternative universe where that technology never existed.
