***Media literacy quote of the day (thank you Sr. Rose Pacatte):
How Did They Do That?
One of the key concepts of media literacy is that all forms of media
are constructed. Grown-ups know media doesn't just happen, but
audiences young and old seldom consider just who decides how a story
is told and all the steps that go into making media. Without
diminishing the enjoyment of media, we can understand processes that
can demythologize what media present as normal. Choose an age-
appropriate DVD movie the students are familiar with and show the
extra feature on how the film was made, then talk about it especially
why the filmmakers chose to include or delete scenes.
***YouTube Videos of the Day
Advent? Let's join the Conspiracy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVqqj1v-ZBU
and don't forget the lions lying down with... well, hugging folks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em5caMx-IJg
The Bible seems to prefer "the leopard shall lie down with the kid
(Isaiah 11:6)" anyway! This would be a good clip to show, and then
discuss how misquotes can go viral, the message being about the same.
