Learning Objectives:
I can...

  • get a sense of media usage in the classroom
  • discuss STAAR style questions
  • present key concepts and ideas around media

Opening:
1. Stickers for Wall Chart - Independent Reading/Book Log

2. Find someone in class with similar media habits...what are the pros and cons (positive effects and negative effects) of your media usage?

Work Period:
3. In small groups, where both handout articles are represented
A.  Discuss your responses to last night's guiding questions

B. Create a poster that represents visually a key element of your media usage.  The poster should include:
  • a visual representation of a media channel's usage (use pg 115, be clever, be original, be comparative)
  • key "problems" or "negative effects" that arise from your media habits (consider all of the articles we've read so far
  • key "positive effects" from your media usage
  • debatable issues that arise from your data and readings.
  • questions for debate
  • what's commercial mass media's argument for feeding you so well??
Closing:
4. Present posters and turn in SB Books.  Arrive tomorrow with a goal in mind for the STAAR Reading Test (52 Questions).
