You guys may have already seen this, but it's kind of neat:
Media Studies Lesson Plans
Some of these are cooler than others - I really like the ones about photojournalism and understanding the census - but they are all kind of interesting. Teaching kids how to understand the news is a hugely important part of media literacy education, I think, and these lesson plans do a better job of it than, say, those made-for-kids news videos we watched earlier in the semester. They're more interactive, too - a lot of them involve a hands-on component that gives kids a chance to be content creators as well as, hopefully, content "understanders."
