For the spring semester, she is working with students on a media literacy unit tied to body image and mental and physical health. As this is a new unit, she reached out to me, and I put together some resources. She has taken the list and gone running with it, creating some great lesson plans that she shared with me when we met.
Since media literacy a topic that is a core piece of library curriculum, as well, and since it applies to students across subjects and grade levels, I figured this would be a good opportunity to catalog some of the resources that we have found to be most helpful.
