Girl Power! Media Literacy For Girls 3rd-5th Grade
Todays media and American culture send dangerously deceptive messages to young people that directly impact both their mental and physical health, and their overall emotional well-being. The Representation Project uses film and media content to expose societal injustices created by stereotypes. The primary goals of the Miss Representation curriculum are to raise awareness of gender and other biases and to shift consciousness against social inequities, thus inspiring more healthy behavior. Gender media literacy gives students the ability to analyze and evaluate gender stereotypes in the media. In addition, students will learn to respond to different forms of media representation, and explore by creating representation for themselves.
Diane Knoll, OTR/L will teach participants how to interpret the messages they hear and see everyday in advertising, films, television, magazines, video games, music, and social media. We are so very proud to offer this media health class to our greater community.
Cost: $100 for the session
Who should participate: Girls 3-5th Grade and 6th-8th Grade. Girls of all abilities welcome. Caregiver participation required for girls who may need more assistance to be in a group.
Time: 12-1:30pm (3rd-5th) and 1:30-3:00 (6th-8th)
Dates: March 18, April 15, May 13, June 17
What will your children be learning? Using age appropriate clips from the critically acclaimed documentary film Miss Representation, students will learn about media literacy from positive, recognizable role models, such as Condoleezza Rice, Katie Couric, Nancy Pelosi, Rosario Dawson, Lisa Ling, and Cory Booker. Girls will be making their own commercial on the last day as well!
