Here is a link to a google drawing of my controversy.
On the left of the screen are the major events for those who believe that actors and directors and those involved in the movie Selma were overlooked because of race. Attached to the two squares are circles that show examples of what is said in the squares. For example the fact that people assumed racial bias (square one on the left) is exemplified by the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite on twitter. Then on the right there is the group that is defending the Academy's nominations saying that art is subjective and has to be treated as such.
Cluster
Reflection:
After reading Alyssa and Isabel's blogs, I realize that most clusters are organized similarly. The two sides are split into the two groups that are normally involved in the controversy, then quotes and sample information is included to outline what the final product will look like. Looking at the two blogs, I want to try out Coggle, which is what Isabel used, for the next one of these we will do.

ReplyDeleteYour controversy and layout of your cluster is very interesting, however it is a tad bit confusing to follow. A suggestion to help with that would be to include questions along the arrows so people know what you are trying to say about the topic. I did like the background picture because it added some pzazz, something my cluster lacks.
ReplyDeleteHey Dylan,
ReplyDeleteI was immediately impressed by the appearance of your cluster map. The background image was fitting and was actually dark enough to not obscure the boxes, and it was flavorful. While I think your map could have been fleshed out a little more, I think that including direct quotes and actually citing where speakers issued their statements was a strong element. I noticed you used google docs which may have been more work than you needed to do with all the shapes and text boxes, but having used coggle, I can say that you could not have done what you did with the background on that website.
Thanks for the read and the map,
-Mika
