This week we'll focus on image analysis in grades 6 and 7. We will start Monday with an introduction to image analysis, what questions to ask, and some practical tips. Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent on practical application of image analysis of black & white pictures as well as color images. We'll discuss the difference between the two mediums, and when they can be effective.
Thursday will host a dissection of TV ads and other media, as we'll explore its role in and on society, and how it impacts us as people. We'll break down some media components, and discuss their effective, or non-effective, uses.
Friday will offer an evaluation of materials learned, story creations, and students will be able to create and add to this blog through sharing of their stories, end-of-unit eval, etc. It should be a good week. As always, check out www.eajohansson.net for more info, or call or email with questions.
In 8th grade we're watching the film "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock. We discuss media impact, fast food, and bias. Students have seen two episodes already, and so far they're doing well. We use a movie worksheet (created in-house) to guide our viewing.
