I’m beginning a course for high school students that requires instruction in media interpretation (critical thinking), technology use and visual arts fundamentals. I have used Art21 (http://www.pbs.org/art21/education/onlinelessonlibrary.html) as a resource, but find much of it excessively complex for 9th grade students. Are there other useful online resources that might include lesson plan ideas for this age level? Thank you.

I’m writing a paper for my media literacy and research class. I chose to write about 80s rock music and how it’s portrayed in the media. I’m a little lost as to how to do that. Are there any sources that I should check out or does anyone have some suggestions as to how I could better research the topic?
