Welcome to this Media Literacy Workshop for  Virginia Middle School English Teachers!
 * Teachers in this workshop will focus on the instructional targets of developing media literacy in their students. The five days of the workshop will provide a clear overview of the scope of the Virginia Department of Education’s Media Literacy Standards, part of the Standards of Learning for English Language Arts. As well, teachers will view, analyze, and undertake the types of activities that will help their students master these standards. **
 * This online course will provide readings, discussion questions, hands-on activities, and opportunities to brainstorm ways to integrate these concepts into your specific curriculum. **

Welcome to a fun week of media literacy education!
