For the most part. Students began to establish a connection between the framing of their group of news stories and the bigger picture of news reporting, shaping public opinion and types of news frames. I have to say our class discussions around this aspect of the project were insightful and indicated learning, however this was not always reflected in the written work. As an instructor who implemented this assignment for the first time, I have some good information that can be used in the future. The students learned Voyant quite easily so I believe I need less time scaffolding instruction on the platform. I would use more class time modeling and workshopping ways to approach the critical discussion of the data. Although I did this with a sample data set that I shared with the group, I think the sharing of my own analysis of this sample data set happened too early in the process. I would move this instruction so it happens later in the students’ progress.
