I love open-ended questions because when you can get a student talking, you can truly see their understanding. When you use closed questions, you are only seeing understanding of a small portion of the information. Also, with closed questions, you are not seeing their thought processes, which I personally feel is such an amazing thing to witness.
1. This publication is put out by TIME, and according to their website, "Nearly one-half of all U.S. adults read a Time Inc. magazine, and our audience growth consistently outpaces the industry". They also state that more than 50 percent of their print subscribers have an income of $100,000.
Messages and Meanings
2. The image is a school desk that is all white, surrounded by an all white room, which is appealing because of the clean look and feel it portrays. Also, the bright green apple serves as a nice aesthetic.
3. Some may see this message as positive "Building a Student for the 21st Century" because it puts out the idea of making sure students are ready for life after high school. Another more negative way to perceive the message, though, is impersonal. This wording turns students into objects, instead of people.
Representation and Reality
4. Education is at the forefront of the issue, with a focus on 21st century learners. The point of view is obviously adults, teachers most likely.
5. Explanation seems to be missing. I do not feel like it is enough to say this is a How To when there is not a subtitle with a small bit of explanation.
