Picture This!

Recognizing the mixed messages students are receiving from various media, and the many social problems they face from an increasing number of socio-cultural factors, educators are seeking ways to teach core values that were once taught exclusively at home. This book is the next step in character education. Picture story books are categorized by virtue, and a wealth of supplemental resources--including lesson plans, student activities, and reproducible worksheets--will help media specialists teach that virtue to students.
