  2. Aims: showing the multiple "lives" of the Fort Hood shooting in terms of the press sphere

    Methods: use the New York Times, along with other quotes, exemplification

    Materials: The New York Times

    Key Passage: "A story is introduced right after it happens, and as the days go on, more information floats to the surface, more witnesses are tracked down, ill-informed facts are thrown out, and the overall story becomes a more cohesive whole."

    Strengths: gives lots of background information, good quotes

    Weaknesses: It is not finished.

    I liked where you were going with this essay. It just needs to be finished.

  3. 1.) Uses a timeline format to show the development of the Ft. Hood shooting as a news story.
    2.) "As the New York Times news articles pertaining to the Fort Hood shooting advanced, more and more things were being discovered and put forward. The question was brought up of whether or not Hasan planned the shooting alone, or if other people were involved."
    3.)Overall good development of story involved with the news aspect. However, little about the blog aspect.
    4.)Good start can build on this essay, and make a great final project.
