  • Unit 2: Who Do You Trust?
    UNIT 2: WHO DO YOU TRUST? Unit Overview With more choices of information available than at any time in human history, students need to be able to tell the difference between high-quality information and junk. In this unit, students explore what makes a media message credible, believable, and trustworthy. The activities examine a range of media types that have some elements of “truth”—from documentary films and Hollywood science fiction to news stories and Internet chat rooms. These activities challenge students to evaluate information by decoding construction techniques and verifying sources of information. Students critically analyze Internet websites and create an evidence chart. The activities in this unit provide students with an opportunity to explore some concepts in Character Education, including fairness, trustworthiness, responsibility, self-direction, and perseverance. The “essential questions” of this unit are: • What criteria should people use in deciding which information is accurate, credible, and trustworthy? • What makes moving images like film and television seem so realistic? • What techniques do film producers, writers, and scientists use to increase people’s perception of realism and credibility? H - 39 UNIT 2: WHO DO YOU TRUST? Explore strategies that can be used to judge the realism and evaluate the authenticity and authority of media messages found on TV, newspapers, the Internet, and in the library. CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES 2.1 Reality Check V2.1 A game to examine reality judgments made in evaluating different types of media messages. 2.2 Crossing the Line from Fact to Fiction Read and analyze how a journalist lost her Pulitzer Prize because of faked information in her news story.

  • Rapp Snitch Knishes: the Danger of Using Gangster Rap Lyrics to Prove Defendants’ Character
    RAPP SNITCH KNISHES: THE DANGER OF USING GANGSTER RAP LYRICS TO PROVE DEFENDANTS’ CHARACTER Rap Snitches, Telling all their business/ Sit in the court and be their own star witness/ Do you see the perpetrator? – Yeah I’m right here/ Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years.1 -- From Rapp Snitch Knishes (2004) INTRODUCTION Suppose the year is 1842. The dismembered body of a man has been found beneath the floorboards of a home in the city of Baltimore. The prime suspect in this homicide is current Baltimore resident, Edgar Allan Poe. The prosecution seeks to enter into evidence a short story that the defendant has been preparing for publication. In this story, the narrator murders a man who has, as the narrator describes it, a “vulture-eye,” and cuts the body to pieces in his bathtub and buries the remains below his floorboards. The victim in the case at hand had a lazy eye and the home under which he was buried did not belong to Mr. Poe. Despite the differences between the novel and the real-life case, the prosecution seeks to have Mr. Poe’s short story presented to show that Mr. Poe had the intent to commit the crime, knowledge of methods of homicide and disposal of evidence, and a plan to commit homicide and dispose of the evidence. Should the admission of Mr. Poe’s in- progress short story be admitted?2 Evidence is anything offered to the court to be shown to a jury to persuade it of the “existence or nonexistence of a fact.”3 Rule 401 of the Federal Rules of Evidence requires that evidence be relevant.4 To be 1.
