Well, this is it...my final semester at Towson. For those of you checking this blog to read about my Chihuahua (both of you), scroll down. For the remainder of this semester, this blog will switch to a brand-new topic...one that I haven't come-up with as of yet. Until then, I'll be posting interesting homework assignments on this site...enjoy!
Our first assignment was to review an article and its' accompanying multimedia package and tell how the package enhanced the written story. I chose to read a local story from The Sun about a German bakery http://pages.towson.edu/lieb/MCOM407/germanbakery.doc. At first I thought the story would be pretty dull, but after reading it I found it to be quite interesting. The article was well-written and descriptive, but it begged for pictures and sound to complete it. I wanted to see this man playing his accordian. I wanted to see the restaurant, and the various patrons singing and dancing on Thursdays. Although I found reading some of the German words and phrases a bit confusing, there's nothing confusing about the multimedia package. Well, maybe one thing...I thought they could've varied the pictures just a bit more than they did. Although I did request for the opportunity to see Alfred Zeller play his accordian, I didn't need to see it a dozen times. I would've liked a bit more variety. But I did like how the pictures put you into the story...you're there, in the restaurant, listening to the music and seeing the people that you just read about. Insead of just imagining what this scene might look like on a German Thursday, you're there, watching it. Overall, I found the multimedia package Baltimore Sun German Bakery slideshow complemented the newspaper article well.
