Today in class we examined two different magazine covers. Both of which had Arnold S. on them. We talked about how the fisrt cover varied in emotions from the second. They both illustrated a very different personality. One was more a tough guy while the other was more of a family man. We decided that the colors used on the illustration made the difference. Deconstructing and analyzing different media helps students develop 21st century skills because it makes them aware of how such things can influence them based on a few tiny details. It allows them to also make judgements and persuade them to view the object or person in the way the media wants it to look. It helps them to be more aware and cautious of these things.
We made our own magazine covers as well.
I like your emphasis on extra-curricular activities! They are such an important part of keeping kids involved in school and making learning fun! Your cover is well designed!
