Mod 19 Discussion: Taking the Lead on Literacy

I enjoyed reading your perspective on media literacy and critical thinking. You make a strong point that these skills are valuable across all content areas, not just English. I especially like your emphasis on using real-world media to help students make meaningful connections while practicing critical thinking. Encouraging students to question and analyze the information they encounter every day is an important skill that will benefit them both inside and outside the classroom. Your experience teaching these skills would certainly be a valuable resource for both students and fellow educators.
