Communication Media is a one credit 8th grade elective that meets every day for one semester. The class investigates the influence of media on users and actively creates and publishes original productions of media. The main units we will cover include the first amendment, newspaper, magazine, radio, television, and film. This is meant to be a survey course that allows students to explore the different forms of media and allow them to discover what forms they would like to explore more in-depth in high school or beyond.
