Media Literacy

As you read Christensen for Tuesday, don't forget about Carlson. In his text (and in the It's Elementary video) he talks about the "popular culture curriculum" that teaches us about LGBT people and issues through films like Ace Ventura or even the more recent Chuck and Larry movie released last summer. Christensen shows, in much more depth, why we need to pay attention to these media texts as they offer us a "secret education."
