The media literacy unit is underway! I am always so excited to do this unit. We get to spend three weeks studying the culture that we are each emersed in. I get to learn more about the lives of my students as they lead me through their magazines. The students, though, will begin to see their own world a little differently after I teach them a few things.

I will be handing out the media literacy packet Friday. It will list all of the requirements.
