Keegan SESSION I (May 17 th June 25 th ) This course is designed to help classroom teachers look at popular culture as something other than the enemy. Pop culture is ubiquitous; our students consume it in huge amounts, as do we. What we as teachers need to recognize is that there is an inherent appeal to pop culture which can work to our benefit. We can use this tool as a means of engaging our students and making them want to think deeply about their own lives and interests in the context of our classrooms and content areas. Additionally, popular culture can be a locus of critique. We can use it to look at society, politics, gender issues, sex, violence, class and race inequality, among other things. Teaching students to critically assess their media and culture consumption is a way of bringing into focus what it means to be American, to be a member of the Global Economy, and to be a participant in local and world societies.
