Today in class, we wanted to figure out what the newspapers were going to say, to establish the difference between the two world. Jessi and Isa told me that they brainstormed for 45 minutes and couldn't figure out the right story to have in our project. For some reason at that moment I was thinking about California, so I just suggested that the headline should be the "California: bans gay marriage" and they both thought that was a great idea. This headline would be for the red world, which is about fake news and a communism government, (oh! we decided that the government was communism to establish why the citizens of the red world were so angry) because California has always been a liberal state and has one of the largest gay population in the world (oh! we decided that the government was communism to establish why the citizens of the red world were so angry). So obviously, California would never prohibit gay marriage. However, I didn't come up with the idea for the blue world. Jessi and Isa decided to make the story for the blue world about a study that proves isolation is healthy for the world, I think. Everyone liked the idea so we stuck with it.
The next step was to figure out the masthead. For the one in the red world, we decided on "Mars Times." I really liked the idea because in roman mythology the God, Mars, is the God of war. It really fit the theme of the red world. For the masthead of the newspaper in the blue world, it would be "The Neptune Chronicles." This also fit well because Neptune is the God of the sea which could represent isolation.
I really like the idea for our newspapers and, hopefully, it will effectively establish the worlds.
