Media About Citizenship

610

Citizenship refers to recognized membership in a society or group, or the civic participation or character of a person who is considered a citizen of a community. Citizenship is frequently contested on the level of the rights and duties of citizens, as well as the parameters with which people are included or denied membership.

The media in this section cover topics such as immigration, national and transnational identities, community participation and service, volunteerism, voting, military service, immigration reform, immigration law and policy, and citizen’s rights.

Why We Rise
Social justice through parody NWP Albert is an Economics teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here describing a lesson plan he created for students to engage with social issues through parody and activism by using some of the media examples he found on the By Any Media Necessary web resource. He talks about moving beyond concepts of supply and demand by infusing his economics classes with social justice themes that students are receptive to, and talks about how part of his course asks students to think about the implications of globalization on poverty. He explains his process of looking through media examples on the site that discuss social issues through parody, draws inspiration from a DREAMer video that speaks to healthcare for millions of undocumented immigrants, and talks about using these kinds of videos as a springboard to bring to light these and other social issues. Connecting it to his lesson plan, he will have students create a parody around a social issue they choose, helping them to think about what they can do with the current situation, spaces, and resources they have.

10th graders in Watts NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here describing the neighborhood and community context that situates her lesson plan about vehicles of protest as a response to trauma. She starts by describing the everyday lived realities of her students, the disconnect between what the district requires them to read and learn in their classes, and how she has reframed canonical books to be more responsive to students who live in communities like Watts, and how this kind of lesson can be identified with everywhere. She uses Lord of the Flies as an example of how she reframed the book characters’ experiences to talk about trauma, violence, limited resources, and support and help seeking practices.
"THE CORNER" - Jose Vadi {The Bigger Picture Project} "How far do we have to slip before we end this edible misery and rewrite our recipe?"In THE CORNER, directed by Jamie DeWolf, José Vadi speaks about how local communities have greater accessibility to fast food restaurants and corner stores, which increases their risk of Type 2 Diabetes. Youth Speaks and UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations are leading the campaign against Type 2 Diabetes with our new project, The Bigger Picture.

There's no reason anyone can't do it NWP Albert is an Economics teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here talking about pushing the boundaries to work within the system as a social justice educator, the learning process of becoming a teacher, and learning how to incorporate digital media into lessons. At the end of this clip, he says, “If we can do it in South Central at a school that’s going through crazy transformations, and students can get into these amazing projects, there’s no reason why anyone can’t do it.”
"By Any Sweets Necessary" by Luke Tailor {The Bigger Picture} Sacramento-based MC Luke Tailor’s addictive diet follows him everywhere he goes - in school, at the park, even the emergency room - but what Luke doesn’t know is how such an unhealthy high-sugar diet can lead to serious chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes.

Protest songs and images NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here discussing the lesson plan she created on different vehicles of protest as a response to trauma, drawing inspiration from examples of protest songs, spreadable image and hashtag campaigns, and internet memes. She talks about expanding on traditional notions of civic engagement so that students can engage peers and their communities in ways that are meaningful to them, and also discusses figuring out how to navigate privacy and safety when working with images or videos of her students, sharing various levels of “publicness” that can be achieved through creative lesson planning. At the end of this clip, Kate emphasizes the importance of scaffolding, modeling, and having students practice these kinds of civic engagement, so that they can develop their voices as well as strategies to advocate for themselves and their communities, and learn ways to participate civically.

Teaching Teachers NWP Nicole Mirra, teacher educator, scholar, and member of the UCLA Writing Project, talks about encouraging pre-service teachers to incorporate the teaching of civic and media literacy skills in their classrooms. Using examples from the BAM resource and through sharing her lesson planning and scaffolding documents and processes, she demonstrates how she incorporates these themes in her own teaching. She also makes the case for the value of this kind of work and connects these practices to common core state and national standards.
