To evaluate a piece of media means to

express the main idea in a clear and specific way.
disseminate the contents to a wide audience.
judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.
communicate the information to a group of people.

Answer:

judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.

Explanation:

express the main idea in a clear and specific way – this is not the right answer. Evaluation is more complex and analytical than just the main idea.

disseminate the contents to a wide audience – this is not the right answer. Evaluation of the message doesn’t concern spreading it.

judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way – this is the correct answer. Media is used to convey a certain message through some of the tools (radio, TV, internet, etc.) Therefore, its evaluation concerns seeing the message and analyzing it, giving the judge of it at the end. This includes possible critics or praise for the message, ways of conversion, tools, etc.

communicate the information to a group of people – this is an incorrect answer. Evaluation, as said before, does not concern the spreading of the information.

Answer: Option C

(C) judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.

* Before you read:

During the time this story takes place, India was a British colony. The colonial official works for the British government in India. The government attachés work for another country’s embassy in India. Finally, a naturalist is someone who studies animals and plants.

The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests —army officers, and government attachés with their wives, and a visiting American naturalist —in their spacious dining room. It has a bare marble floor, open rafters, and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.

A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who insists that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a colonel who says that they haven’t.

“A woman’s unfailing reaction in any crisis,” the colonel says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of nerve control than a woman has. And that last ounce more is what counts.”

The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. With a slight gesture, she summons the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The boy’s eyes widen, and he quickly leaves the room.

Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.

The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing—bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters —the likeliest place —but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left —under the table.

His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it sobers everyone.

“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count to three hundred — that’s five minutes —and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit fifty rupees. Ready!”

The twenty people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying “two hundred and eighty” when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut.

“You were right, Colonel!” the host exclaims. “A man has just shown us an example of perfect control.”

“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to his hostess. “Mrs.Wynnes, how did you know the cobra was in the room?”

A faint smile lights up the woman’s face as she replies. “Because it was crawling across my foot."

Her deck, once red with heroes' blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe, When winds were hurrying o'er the flood, And waves were white below, No more shall feel the victor's tread, Or know the conquered knee; -- The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the sea! Oh, better that her shattered hulk Should sink beneath the wave; Her thunders shook the mighty deep, And there should be her grave; Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail, And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale.

does not know that he is learning any lessons, and who
has nothing in the world to think of except things to eat.
Mother Wolf told him once or twice that Shere Khan
was not a creature to be trusted, and that some day he
must kill Shere Khan; but though a young wolf would

forgot it because he was only a boy-though he would
have called himself a wolf if he had been able to speak
in any human tongue.

15 points each!!! pls



In South Dakota, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is as big as Delaware and Rhode Island combined. It has some of the highest poverty rates in the United States. For three years, it has also hosted shows with music written for an orchestra by high school students.


"It's really a great thing to see these kids, and the pride that the reservation has in having these kids be stars," said David Gier. He is the music leader of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra.


The yearly music academy is one part of the Lakota Music Project. It's a program developed with the orchestra and musicians of the Lakota Native American tribe. The goal is to create cultural cooperation, teaching people about the Lakota and the orchestra.


"Through music, we are able to show a side of us that nobody gets to see," said Emmanuel Black Bear, a singer. He has been part of the Lakota Music Project since 2009. The native people have "a rich culture," he said. "I wanted to be a part of something where we could show the positive side of our people through music."


Black Bear is bringing the Lakota Music Project to Washington, D.C. Native flute player Bryan Akipa and nine members of the South Dakota Symphony are also going. In October, Black Bear will perform at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and at Washington National Cathedral. It is for a festival hosted by the PostClassical Ensemble. The goal is to show Native American influences on American music.


Matching Two Different Types Of Music Together

The Lakota Music Project "deserves to be more widely known," said Joseph Horowitz. He is the PostClassical Ensemble's leader.


The project began in 2005. It was soon after Gier started with the orchestra. He wanted to develop community programs, and he learned about tensions in his new community between Native and non-Native Americans.


Gier approached local leaders and experts. One was Ronnie Theisz, a writer of books on Lakota culture. The two men talked about creating a project.


An idea came one snowy evening at Pine Ridge. Some of the orchestra's musicians met with the Porcupine Singers, a drumming circle on the reservation. They played music for each other.


Gier said the keeper of the drum talked about singing old songs and passing on tradition to younger people. It was the main thing both groups shared.


There are plenty of differences, too. The timing of the two types of music is different, said Black Bear. "In the beginning, it was kind of difficult to match them together."


Hearing The Music Instead Of Trying To Change It

The first Lakota Music Project tour, in 2009, set themes for the concerts. Theisz became a leader on the project. He suggested grouping the concert around love and death, joy and sadness, with music from each culture. The second half had new works on Lakota themes.


The Lakota Music Project is coming to Washington because of Horowitz's support of the Indianist movement. It was in the early 1900s. American composers wrote music based on Native American themes. Horowitz calls it "a major American cultural event that's been totally forgotten."


From the Lakota point of view, however, the "Indianist" movement inappropriately uses Native American customs. It's based on a misunderstanding of Native traditions, they believe.


"Even when they loved to take source music from different Indian tribes," Theisz said of the Indianist composers, "they didn't appreciate it." They wanted to try to improve it, he said.


"We're trying to counter that," he said. "Hearing the real music is part of the project."


The Lakota Music Project's focus remains on building bridges through music.


"It's just human connection," Gier said, "and feeling like we can make a difference."

D. An outcome of the Lakota Music Project is that people of different cultures learn how much they have in common.

A. “The Lakota Music Project's focus remains on building bridges through music."


B. “[The Indianist movement] flourished in the early 20th century as American composers based works on Native American themes.”


C. "Native music is more freestyle," said Black Bear, who has been part of the Lakota Music Project since 2009.


D. "Its goal is to spotlight Native American influences on American classical music."
