[LM_NET] SEC: Media Literacy Course

[Sadie Longood <Sadie.Longood@DALLAS.K12.OR.US>]

LM_NET: 
My English staff is beginning to develop a course (required for
juniors)they're calling "media literacy." Their intent is to hip the
students to media manipulation. 
Of course they have no $$ for textbooks, but think they can get by
without, and they probably can. I am gathering materials for them
(_Culture Jam: The Uncooling of America_ and _Manufacturing Consent_
etc.) but would be interested in your input on this topic.

If any of your schools have a similar class would you mind sharing your
experience?
