Designed for senior high school students, this one semester course focuses on four aspects of modern media: television, film, radio, and advertising. Each topic is worked into a weekly lesson plan format that stresses the active involvement of students in the learning process. The course outline contains lists of objectives and media materials resources, a student survey on media, a list of topics for semester student reports, and weekly lesson plans. Projects for each week of class include a study of network competition, student interviews, producing a sports telecast, radio production, and an advertising campaign. (MAI)
