  1. What a great find. All students in middle school should be exposed to this and all sites showing how images are retouched. I would have loved to have been able to see this information.

  2. A lot of English teachers are fitting this kind of thing into their curriculum as “media literacy.” There are tons of media literacy sites and lesson plans out there. A simple Google search will show you what kinds of things are out there.

    One of the first things we did in my Basic class was watch “Supersize Me” and identify rhetorical techniques from a list. This was prep for a persuasive assignment, but watching the movie led to some interesting discussions and a lot of growling bellies. (OT: This is why I like mainstream documentaries — classroom usage.)
