Join us as we welcome Dr. Jeff Share, a professor in the teacher education program at UCLA, to walk us through a series of sessions on how to help our students navigate a crazy, media-rich world. Topics for this session include:
Session 1: Introduction to Critical Media Literacy (memes)
This session is an overview of critical media literacy that explains the CML framework with 6 conceptual understandings and 6 corresponding guiding questions. We will also explore the role of memes as thinking maps and participants will have the opportunity to create their own meme.
Media Production: Myth Busting Meme Activity
Work with a partner to create at least a meme that challenges an issue that is problematically represented in commercial media. You can research memes at the website: Know Your Meme. Upload your meme(s) to Google Slides:
Discuss the representation you want to challenge
Negotiate how you would like to respond to the representation (with irony, humor, satire, etc.)
Create your meme(s) that…
o includes image(s) and words
o challenge the problem
