Deconstructing Media Messages

DECONSTRUCTING MEDIA MESSAGES - A Playshop for Middle School Girls & Moms

Saturday, Feb. 16, 2008 - 10 am-noon.  Prodential Georgia Realty, 227 Sandy Springs Place, Atlanta 30327.

This event is middle school students and their moms.  The media are extremely powerful socio-cultural influences in our society.  The more we know about their influence, the more we can resist potentially damaging messages.

Learn to become more media literate through a discussion about media influences followed by the creation of a collage intended to "de-construct" media messages.  The collages will be displayed at other EDIN events, including Merrick's Walk and the Candlelight Vigil at the Capitol.

Supplies will be provided.  But, if you happen to have extra magazines that you don't mind cutting up, please bring them with you.

Event limitied to 16 mother-daughter pairs.  $5 for each mother-daughter pair.  Space is limited so register early! 

Please register by February 13.
