Evaluation Title: Kinds of Pop Culture

Your assignment this week has two parts: First, you will create a timeline or infographic to address the following questions:

2. How have these various forms of communication have evolved since they were first introduced? (Give a “before” and “after”)

Second, you will write a mini-statement answering the following question.

1. In 300-500 words, give your opinion: Will pop culture ever stop using a form of media? Why or why not?
