Task #1, i hope this is deep enough

The six principles of media literacy that Project Look Sharp deals with appear to perfectly compliment the research of Renee Hobbs. Hobbs was documenting the effects of media literacy in classrooms and the principles of PLS, seem to take her work at Concord High School and generalize her findings. Hobbs research is more specific than the guiding principles of the PLS, but that is because her research takes the reader along the process of validating the effectiveness of media literacy in the classroom.

Though, I do not know how long PLS has been in effect, the web page itself dates back to 2001 (thank you “Way Back Machine” and Mr. Warlick). This is three years after Hobbs’ the implementation of the English 11 curriculum. Hobbs’ finding stand on there own, by looking at both the text and the PLS we can see how the steps towards integrating media literacy in classrooms came to in being.
