I hadn’t really thought of focusing on the media text creation part in this unit because I was going to do it later, but the more opportunities they get, the better. I think you may be right about the 8 key concepts. I have a feeling that when I actually create the lesson plans, I’ll discover all kinds of tweaking that I’ll have to do. I can’t remember off hand what specific evidence I wanted included in the portfolio but I think there will be room for more. The third unit is the research report and it will be much heavier. Thanks again! You’re the best!

Will these products have a media connection at all? (script of a scene of novel? trailer storyboard? All kinds of potential for differentiation here. It might take quite a while to teach the 8 key concepts – most of the media assessment is blogging – what will you have them do? Great stuff.
