Oh no! I just read this about changing English classes into Communication classes! What will become of my job? Will I have to take more courses to become "highly qualified" in Communication? :) Seriously, though, what a concept. It is so true about the lack of media literacy in our classrooms, yet, this is exactly what interests our students. I love the idea of becoming active watchers, too. Why are we passive watchers and active readers? Why shouldn't our students learn to watch and listen actively? Great points, and definitely something I want to try.
Change English???
