Here are the two readings for next Wednesday. First, a shorter column by Henry Jenkins, "Why Heather Can Write," which focuses on the relationship between "participatory culture" and media literacy. Second, a slightly longer piece by Jenkins, et al, "Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture." This is a somewhat longer piece, so be prepared. In both cases, I'd encourage you to consider what Jenkins is defining as "participatory culture" and "media literacy" and to consider what role he imagines popular culture can serve in educating youth.
I'll provide you with more detailed questions in the days ahead, but I just wanted to make sure you had the material now.
