The purpose of the Media Literacy Unit is to begin to develop an awareness of the media and the messages which are constantly sent to us. The National Council of Teachers of English established the 21st Century Literacies to include the ability to "Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information" as well as the ability to "Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts". This unit will provide students with the opportunity to work on these forms of literacy while also developing their cultural and visual literacies.

This website is an extension of my English classroom at Strongsville High School. My students and their parents can use Ribblett's Room to find monthly calendars, weekly lesson plans, all assignments, useful links, and any other important information! Your students are also using Google Classroom to access some assignments through their school Google account. Email me at kribblett@scsmustangs.org with any questions.
