Thanks for posting. This is snhotmieg I feel quite strongly about. In fact, because of the post, I was contacted by the chairperson of the International Reading Association Kid Lit Committee and asked to develop a presentation on this topic for their next convention. I say we can use the power of popular culture to our advantage if we’re smart about it. Thanks for posting the link.

A former middle school teacher, Peter Gutierrez has spent the past 20 years developing curriculum as well as working in, and writing about, various branches of pop culture. You can sample way too many of his thoughts about media and media literacy via Twitter: @Peter_Gutierrez
