KaPow! Media Literacy! Wham!
Mine and Jess Brown's Media LiteracyProject is a secret... dun dun dun....
No, I'm kidding. Really.
We're leaning towards an analysis of violence in the media. We're not yet sure of whether we're going to look at isloated incidents of this topic or at representations of violence throughout a span of years.
We're still trying to narrow down our focus; also, we're trying to define exactly what it is that we're analyzing about violence... does it sell? Does it influence violence in teens? What's the proof?
We're open to suggestions.... :o)

I love your graphic Megan.
You're right to ponder what it is you're trying to analyze. Focus...narrow....otherwise impossible to work on a lesson.
Why not look at some example(s) of violence that are ubiquitous in teen culture/life?
Some music (very relevant right now with the Imus debacle)
Video games--tonight in a special on the Va Tech tragedy video game violence was used as an example to show the particular gun the shooter used.
Cartoons? What do you watch if any?
What ideas have you and Jess been working on?
Don't you wonder if violence in the media has any role in the events at Virginia Tech?
Great subject, and I'm sure whatever you guys decide to do it will be great.
