School’s (almost) out for summer. As long as you can survive June.
Another school year is coming to an end, and parents everywhere are looking at their June calendars wondering how everything is going to fit into a few short weeks.
Put Your Best Face Forward
In this lesson, students start by discussing the phenomenon of “selfies” and serve as experts in advising the teacher on the standards by which the “best” selfies are judged. They then discuss a number of statements taken from interviews with youth that highlight issues of self-representation, body image and gender standards, and learn about “photoshopping” images. Finally, students apply what they have learned by modifying an image that is at least 50 years old to meet “selfie” standards.
