Project Look Sharp FREE Webinar:
Teaching about the Middle East through Media Literacy

  How can we teach students to
  understand and analyze the often
  conflicting cultural, religious,
  political, and historic perspectives
  in the Middle East?

 

 

Chris Sperry will present on decades of experience with teaching high school students about the Middle East.  At the time of this webinar Chris will have just returned from presenting at the first International Conference on Media Literacy in Iran.

Chris will explore the role that Media Literacy, Project-Based Learning and lesson design (UBD) can play in motivating and engaging all students in deep scholarship, critical thinking and personal growth.   Participants will be introduced to:

  • lesson models from the curriculum kit, Media Construction of the Middle East
  • a video demonstration of the classroom media decoding process
  • a sample of a student simulated Middle East peace conference
  • how teachers can teach key content while addressing common core standards in social studies and speaking and listening.
This webinar is interactive with live chatt, video demonstrations, polls, and Q&A at the end!  Be sure to attend live to join in on the conversation!
