As such, media literacy is an integral component of this course. As we study our course texts (Animal Farm, Night, A Raisin in the Sun, and Persepolis), we will examine the relevance of context, form, audience, and purpose and how they create and shape meaning. This examination carries over into our study of how the images we see in various media shape the ways in which we perceive others and ourselves.
