=**Unit Plan Title: Representation**=

Brief Summary: Representation will introduce students to the idea that everything in the media is a re-presentation by the maker of the product. Therefore, students will learn to examine and deconstruct products of the media that are a representation of a particular person and time in history. They will then re-construct the product in a way they see fit. Students will use the content, unit and essential questions while deconstructing and re-constructing.

On completion of this unit the student should be able to describe the construction of specific media representations and explain how the process of representation reproduces the world differently from direct experience of it.
