Media Literacy Update

 Wow!  My Composition class is small this year.  The kids are in the middle of a paper on formation of the faith.  The teens are enthusiastic about Media Literacy, but not about another paper.  We had a great discussion about bias in the media and the difficulty of finding reliable news sites.  We decided to work on a series of lessons for next year’s class.  My plan is to teach a group of younger kids Composition next year.  Next year’s class will need focused lessons.  That’s the advantage of homeschooling—even in a Co-op setting.  We know the kids!  We are aware of their learning styles or learning differences. I plan to have this year’s class help with Picture Prompts and Writing Prompts.  We’ll work on lessons in class to give the teens time to revise their Formation papers.
