Representations of family in the media:

When teaching representation in the media, it can be helpful to ask students about their perception of the lesson's topic first, in order to gain some insight into their mindsets. After that, one could show a certain movie clip, commercial, etc. and ask both how the clip conforms to and deviates from their perceptions, at which point one can then ask them about the factors that lead to those perceptions. Using this process, one can enable the students to think critically about what they think and why.
