Abstract "This is a content and practice-based text for pre-service teachers that integrate the identification of issues of difference---such as sexism, heterosexism, racism, and religious intolerance---along with suggestions for distinct teaching strategies. Drawing from critical literacy techniques, the text explains the varying perspectives from which various topics are represented in the media, including attention to bias, fact, and explicit and implied messages. Practical applications for classroom engagement include small and whole group discussion, related mash-ups, role-playing, social-media debate, topic-oriented social media critique, and guidelines for deciding how and when to use each"-- Provided by publisher.
