LAI 517SEM - Media, Popular Culture and ELA

This online course is designed to provide teachers with the opportunity to critique popular media in the classroom. Grounded in critical media literacy, socio-cultural theory, and multimodality and new literacy theories, this course takes a thematic arc to the intersection of canonical and popular media texts. We will actively engage in our own personal inquires around popular media as well viewing and responding to numerous texts. Given the modality of our online collaboration, the form of our responses will take the form of the texts we are studying.
