Be sure to join our next free webinar just in time for
Martin Luther King Jr Day!  

Sox Sperry, Project Look Sharp’s primary curriculum writer, will lead participants on a participatory exploration of lessons covering media representations of Dr. King. The curriculum kit he will be referring to is available free and online.

The webinar will offer Middle and High School teachers, community educators and teachers-in-training pedagogical techniques and curriculum materials to support a deeper understanding of how to use a wide variety of media documents that:

  • Support content teaching about social justice movements
  • Examine  media representations of ongoing struggles against racism and the practice of nonviolence
  • Encourage analysis of meanings and messages constructed about Dr. King’s life 

We will also explore media literacy goals analyzing historical context, purpose and credibility of media constructions. Participants will leave with handouts, lessons, and other tools to immediately integrate media literacy into curriculum design.  

Certificates will be made available upon request to paticipants that attend the live event and participate.
