Great website for explaining how you can insert a picture of yourself into one with a famous person! Would be great to have student make these themselves in order to become more critical consumers of visual images.
This analysis of a Civil War photo from the Library of Congress collection shows that altering photographs to suit the artist's purpose existed long before Photoshop. Great resource to remind students to always think with a critical eye!
This gorgeously designed website needs to be read carefully to verify information. Read about Christopher Columbus and find out that he was actually born in Sydney, Australia.
This website is created by StormFront, David Duke's organization. The site contains highly biased information about Martin Luther King Jr. Very useful for talking about fact vs. opinion and being a critical reader and consumer.
Goal: create connected, global learning communities for adolescence in which they feel a higher sense of purpose for their lives (and to be a good mommy too!)
