This time we didn't have class; we couldn't meet but we had work to do. At home, we were supposed to read a document about 12 principles to incoporate media literacy and critical thinking into any curriculum.
Before reading the text, I missunderstood the sense of it because of its tittle, I thought it was only about media refering to t.v, radio or internet, but after I read it I realized it's also about books, newspapers, magazines, movies, billboards video games and recorded music.
It's a little confusing when you read it at first, but when you read it twice is easier to get the main point of it. There are 12 principles that seem to be very nice for teachers and for students in class, but it only worthy when we really do it in our classes; not just for reading and giving opinions about it, but to take all those principles into our own spaces of teaching and proving by ourselves their real meaning.

I could not agree with you more. It is true, at the beginning that document was hard to read, and then, you realized it is really rich and opens lots of possibilities for our classes, not only English ones. It is also true,that we teachers, on regular basis forget the wide spectrum media is, and how important it is to use them accurately in our classes.
