Evaluate the Strategy for Use in Your Own Classroom

Discuss with your colleagues the challenges and benefits of using this session's strategy with your students or reflect on them in your journal.

1. What historical information and resources will your students need to enable them to effectively analyze media?
2. How might you work with students to turn their differing interpretations of media into an opportunity for further learning?
3. What difficulties might you encounter in allowing students to interpret media for themselves, with just your minimal guidance, rather than giving them the "right answer?" How will you surmount these difficulties?
