This could include the Gulf War/George Bush/9/11/George W. Bush/Michael Moore/media bias (using specific examples)
- A persuasive essay in the form of a satire (we will learn more about this in the next few weeks)
-Homework: Think of a question to ask our guest speaker for my perusal. Remember to focus your question around media bias/perspective.
