Educators

The Media Burn collection contains many unique videos that provide different perspectives on cultural, political, and social issues, forming a one-of-a-kind resource for educators. Many of these videos are made of candid interviews captured by independent videomakers; they are more immediate than other kinds of journalism or documentary and uniquely informative. The Media Burn video collection is a valuable resource for teachers preparing lessons about history, politics, media studies, ethnic studies, journalism, and many more topics.

The links below lead to our first batch of curriculum guides. These are meant to be a starting point, as the teacher can adapt these and delve further into the collection. It is a work in progress.
