Review

Making Sense Of The Media is a handbook for teaching critical analysis of the mass media written in an articulate, lively, clear, and richly illustrated format. Making Sense Of The Media is designed for classroom use in any group setting. Its lessons empower students by developing their ability to understand and analyze messages found in advertising, political campaigns, television news, soaps, sitcoms, and melodramas. Students learn to make their own media, including puppetry, comic books, and other popular story-telling forms as tools for learning and problem solving. Making Sense Of The Media should be on the shelf of every school and public library in the country. -- Midwest Book Review
