This document outlines the agenda for a professional learning session on media literacy. It divides participants into two groups - one focused on reviewing infographics about media literacy, the other reviewing resources in the media literacy folder. The infographic group will agree on key points to share, while the resource group will each highlight one resource to share. Examples of media texts are provided, including a Super Bowl commercial and critique of a Taco Bell ad. The document also lists the expectations for media literacy from the curriculum document and reviews support materials for collaborative inquiry groups projects. It concludes with a sign-up sheet for presentation dates.
