Helloooo strangers!
PML has been rolling deep and knocking out some serious work these past few weeks geared toward finalizing our lesson plans and getting in touch with schools so we can start making the Los Angeles area more media literate one school at a time! The group we've gathered round one of applications is amazing, and we're super lucky to have them on board as team members of Project Media Literacy. So congrats to Sarah, Angel, Yolanda, Ben, Lilea, Daryl, and Patricia!
Think media literacy is a silly skill to have? Consider the things we've noticed the past few weeks while interacting:
-Different news corporations are selectively presenting facts on stories to sway viewers
-During a 3 hour Spongebob marathon spree, all of the toys targeted to girls involved ideals of consumerism/physical appearances
-Boys have immense pressures from the media to gain power status and control sentimental emotions
-Stereotyping is a harmful selling technique alive and well in advertising
Keep in touch viewers...if you have suggestions, comments, or questions, email projectmedialiteracy@gmail.com for more information and a real person reply! No computers, swear it!
