FILM: MissRepresentation
As a Media Literacy teacher, I am always looking for ways to keep my curriculum up-to-date and relevant. After watching it with my husband and other teachers at my school, we all had such fruitful discussions about teaching and raising our own children to be media-aware and savvy.

I agree. I sent home a parent permission letter and showed the film in its entirety in my Media Literacy class this past fall. The discussions my classes had afterwards were very eye-opening and engaging. I had several students mention the film in their semester course evaluations as one of the more important topics/texts that we covered.

Stacey, that is great to hear! What grade level do you teach? I teach 8th grade and think it would be too much to show to some of my more innocent eighth graders, but I am looking into the other parts of the DVD for middle school curriculum and am hoping I can use that in my own classroom.
